Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
