What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
