Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
