For the record, for interested buyers, there are a number of houses in the LSL section of TV — between 466 and 466A that had roofs replaced after a bad run of shingles.

A lot of the homes that got the new roofs — free — are in Hemingway and Hadley. Those two villages are the areas I know about for sure because it’s my neck-of-the-woods and we got a new roof in 2014 on a 2007 build, when the shingles fiasco was finally settling. Other villages might have been in that timing, too, but I don’t know.

That area of TV is very convenient to pools, golf courses, restaurants, and shopping and you might find some very nice upgrades.

It is possible that if an agent is new to selling in TV, the new(er) roof thing might not be known. But the roof that was replaced for us now has 7 years on it and many in the area were replaced before that.

I am throwing this info in here because it’s a little something to know about that might buy a little time for a buyer who can find one of these houses.
