What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
