Another thing that may/most likely will come up is the useful life of the roof. What is it on that style (I don’t recall anymore, been years since I’ve dealt with flat roofs). If 15 years, no matter how new, assume the buyer and his inspection will want it addressed. If you are the buyer, look into it and if it’s 15-20 years, it may be on borrowed time. If 30+ years, you have some room there. Keep in mind useful life is just a basis and doesn’t mean it will fail after or before then.
