My home inspector said to call a roofer. Is that you?

Yes. Hyperion is the licensed-roofer visit that report is asking for. It is not a home inspection.

Can a roof older than 10 years stop the buyer from getting a policy?

Often yes. Underwriters rarely bind a new policy on a roof older than about 10 years, and a denied or partial claim makes that worse.

What if the buyer closes and then cannot get insurance?

The buyer can be stuck. A covered storm loss still sat on the seller’s policy during the seller’s coverage period. After closing, that path needs a seller willing to open a claim on a house they already left.

Your home inspector said to call a licensed roofer

This is the licensed-roofer visit that inspection report already asked for. It is not a home inspection and it does not replace one.

Underwriters often will not bind a new policy on a roof older than about 10 years. A denied or partial claim makes that worse. A buyer can close and then find they cannot insure the house.
