Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. 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 has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
