Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
