Roof replacement before closing

[Ben Crego]

I am closing on a house in a little less than a month. The roof was shot and the seller is replacing it as a condition to closing. Replacement will occur by a licensed & insured roofer and permits must be closed before we can close. I am in Florida and want to make sure there are no issues regarding construction liens.

I’ll require proof of payment and a release from the contractor, seller will sign a title affidavit, and the permits will be closed. I’ll make sure there’s no title exception.

Any other suggestions?
