Thanks for any input.
Even if the house is only ten years old, I would "eyeball" the underside of the roof rafters for previous roof leaks—yourself.

There could be some issues there from excessive shading—which will produce a gray mold from trees that have grown up since the house was built. Winter ice-ups will produce water stains on rafters, a condition which should be also addressed before purchase.
