The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
