Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
