Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage 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 home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
