What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
