There is a golden period from about 1985 to 2000 where houses were built without asbestos but with real building materials. I only buy property built in this window.

Every property I've inspected built after 2010 that's more than 5 years old is either splitting at the seams, sinking into the ground or both. They're built from polystyrene with a coat of plaster. They're built to palm off to naive new homeowners who don't understand or landbankers who don't give a fuck and I pity anyone trying to live in one for more than a few years.
