This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
