Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing.
