Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
