Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
