The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
