Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
