Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
