Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
