Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
