Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
