Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
