Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and 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 household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
