Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
