Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
