What to check on this one
- Verify roof age and condition; 100-year-old home likely needs inspection for insurance eligibility.
- Obtain 4-point inspection and wind-mitigation report—critical for older home insurance approval.
- Confirm flood zone designation and request elevation certificate if in AE/VE zone.
- Have plumber inspect for original cast-iron or polybutylene plumbing; plan replacement costs.
- Review original electrical, HVAC systems, and foundation for age-related issues.
- Confirm all renovation permits and whether historic designation applies to property.
