Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
