Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
