Default New buyers and roofs

Hi all,

This is a multi-part question - I apologize in advance.

1) For those of you that were new buyers of a resale (not new) home, was the age of the roof a negotiation point in the purchase price? For example, if the roof was more than 10 years old, was the fact that you would have a problem with obtaining an insurance policy help the price?

2. Did your realtor help you out with sourcing an insurance policy during the process? Was there a discussion with the insurance about adjustments if an old roof was replaced in the first year?

3. For those of you that got a new roof - say within the last 2-3 years - could you please give me a ballpark size of your roof and a ballpark price for the replacement (PM me if you don't feel comfortable sharing $$ amounts)

4. For new buyers - did you get an "as-is" contract or a "non as-is" contract when you purchased your home in TV?

Many thanks in advance,

Kevin
