Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
