It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
