The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
