Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
