Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
