Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
