What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
