The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
