Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
