Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
