Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In 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 products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
