Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
