Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
