The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
