Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
