Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
