What to check on this one

  • Verify roof age and current condition; 1956 home may need inspection for insurance eligibility.
  • Confirm flood zone designation with Polk County Property Appraiser; obtain FEMA map.
  • Get pool inspection report: equipment age, compliance with Florida safety codes, maintenance history.
  • Verify plumbing type (polybutylene or cast-iron common in 1956); budget for potential replacement.
  • Review septic system service records if applicable; confirm well water quality if used.
  • Obtain 4-point inspection for homeowner's insurance underwriting.

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