Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
