Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
