Pre-Offer Checklist
Pull permit records on the specific address to confirm build year before structuring any inspection. Mixed 1990s–2000s era means inspection scope varies by unit — do not assume the community-level framework applies to a specific home without confirming its build year.
1990s units: Roof age, electrical panel brand (Federal Pacific/Zinsco check required — do not skip on 1990s stock), polybutylene plumbing check required, and HVAC age. Both FP/Zinsco and polybutylene exposure are real on 1990s Florida construction.
2000s units: FP/Zinsco panel exposure generally does not apply, but polybutylene plumbing check is still required on 2000s stock. Roof age and HVAC review still apply.
HOA layering: Lake Charleston has 3 sub-villages each carrying their own HOA layer on top of the master community obligations. Pull financials for both the master Lake Charleston HOA and the specific sub-village HOA that applies to the address before any offer.
School zone: Verify school zone assignment at palmbeachschools.org with the specific address before any offer. Never rely on Zillow or listing agent verbal confirmation.
HOA financials: Brian Wilder pulls current HOA dues, reserve funding percentage, and any pending special assessment disclosures before any offer is written. Contact 561-201-4717.
Brian Wilder's Advisory Note
30 years of Palm Beach County transactions tells Brian which questions protect buyers before contract and which surprises show up post-closing. For Lake Charleston specifically: pull permit records first to confirm the unit's build year — the mixed 1990s–2000s era means the inspection framework is address-specific. Pull HOA financials for both the master community and the applicable sub-village, confirm panel and plumbing status before contract, and verify the school zone before any offer — not during inspection contingency.
