Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
