Older homes in Florida, what you need to know!

If you are buying an older home in Florida, be on the lookout for common issues. The most common issue is cast iron drains. These drains in older homes deteriorate and can fail. A drain inspection is always a recommendation. Roof age/condition and electrical issues are the next most common areas of concern. Check out the link to Citizens website below. These can affect your insurance options and pricing. Older roofs that do not have more than 5 years life expectancy are hard to ensure. Older Florida homes also were not built with storm protection. This makes your house more vulnerable to wind storm damage and can increase your insurance premium.
