Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
