You must do a transfer of warranty for the roof to be covered by the 2nd owner. Our MLS realtor was aware of this and handled it - the roof issue came up just before closing so we escrowed the amount of $ to replace the roof and the seller's funds were released when the work was completed.

Another example of unless you really know what you are doing it is best to be represented by a REALTOR.
