Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house 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 when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
