Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
