We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household 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 pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
