Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
