Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
