Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
