Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
