Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been 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 siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
