What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
