Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
