Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
