Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
