Selling an older home in West Lealman
Half the homes in West Lealman were built in 1973 or earlier, about 53 years ago and before the 2002 Florida Building Code. Buyers' insurers will usually ask for a 4-point inspection (roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC). Getting one done before you list lets you fix deal-killers on your own schedule instead of during the inspection period.
