Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
