Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
