Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
