Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
