What to check on this one

  • Verify actual roof age and material; 1961 home may need inspection if original or nearing 20 years
  • Order 4-point inspection (roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC) — standard for pre-1978 homes in Florida
  • Confirm flood zone via FEMA map; get elevation certificate if in AE/VE zone
  • Check plumbing type — cast-iron or polybutylene common in 1961; replacement costs vary
  • Review title and survey; verify no CDD or HOA liens despite listing claims
  • Inspect HVAC age and condition; Florida heat/humidity demands reliable system in 65-year-old home

Flagged from the listing itself — not an inspection, and no substitute for one. Bring these to the showing.
