Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
