Absolutely an issue that should be dealt with before buying any home with a 15 year old roof. We got a cancellation notice from The Villages Insurance Carrier because of our 15 year old roof and could not get insurance from many different carriers. We ended up using USAA Insurance at twice the cost of our previous policy. The cost of a new roof is around $10,000.00 for a typical 2 bedroom home. I would definitely factor that into my offer or just plan on putting a new roof on.
