Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at 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 cost for removal.
