Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
