Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
