Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
