Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

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