Homes in Longboat Key
Longboat Key is a barrier island split between Manatee and Sarasota counties, with Gulf-front condos, bayfront homes and gated communities. Salt-air wear on exterior equipment and evidence of storm and flood history are key items to check.
What gets extra attention in Longboat Key
Salt air, flood history and storm repairs
Near the water in Longboat Key, salt air speeds up corrosion of AC condensers, electrical components, fasteners and exterior metal. Anthony looks for evidence of past water intrusion and the quality of any storm-related repairs. If you need flood insurance, ask your agent whether an elevation certificate is required; that is a separate document prepared by a surveyor.
Wind mitigation credits
Every Longboat Key homeowner pays for windstorm coverage. A wind mitigation inspection documents features such as roof shape, roof-to-wall connections and opening protection on the OIR-B1-1802 form so your insurer can apply any credits you qualify for.
