This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
