Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
