What to check on this one

  • Verify roof age and condition; 84-year-old home likely needs inspection/replacement soon
  • Order 4-point inspection (required by most insurers for pre-1980 homes in Florida)
  • Confirm actual flood zone via FEMA map; get elevation certificate if in AE/VE
  • Check plumbing material—cast-iron/polybutylene common in 1940 homes; inspect for failures
  • Pull septic vs. municipal sewer records; if septic, obtain maintenance history
  • Verify HVAC system age and condition; get service records if available

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