Pre-Offer Checklist

Pull permit records on the specific address to confirm build year before structuring any inspection. Mixed 1980s–1990s era means inspection scope varies by unit — do not assume the framework from the community applies to a specific home without confirming its build year.

1980s units: Roof age, electrical panel brand (Federal Pacific/Zinsco check required — do not skip on 1980s stock), polybutylene plumbing check required, and foundation review. Both FP/Zinsco and polybutylene exposure are real on 1980s Florida construction.

1990s units: FP/Zinsco panel exposure generally does not apply, but polybutylene plumbing check is still required on 1990s stock. Roof age and HVAC review still apply.

HOA coverage: Confirm what The Lakes at Boca Raton HOA covers and what it costs separately from any master HOA obligations 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.
