Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
