Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.
