Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
