This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re 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 home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
