The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
