Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
