Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
