Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
