Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
