What to check on this one

  • Verify roof age and condition; 1977 home likely needs inspection soon for insurance eligibility.
  • Obtain 4-point inspection and wind-mitigation report; required for older home insurance in Florida.
  • Confirm flood zone designation and get elevation certificate if in AE/VE zone.
  • Check plumbing type; polybutylene or cast-iron common in 1977—may affect insurability.
  • Review septic vs. municipal sewer; verify service records if applicable.
  • Inspect HVAC age and capacity; replacement cost critical for 49-year-old home.

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