Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
