The Value of a Home Inspection

[Dimsumkid]

I suggested we look at the "home inspection " report. Interestingly enough, it doesn't mention a bathroom on the main floor. I keep wondering if there is a claim (beyond the costs of the flawed inspection where he misses the bathroom problems because he misses the bathroom).

This is the only item that I read that you can definitely have legal grounds for a lawsuit or compensation. If the inspector completely missed this bathroom, then that's obviously a serious flaw and an incomplete service. I don't know how much a court or arbitrator would award for something like this, it's out of my skill set!

I hired an inspector to inspect while my house was being built. He found a number of things that I was able to get corrected before the house was finished and they became a problem. It was well worth the money.

...can you imagine having an inspector check out a ten year old car you want to buy and what the report would say?

Sort of like checking out a formerly married man/woman?

OK, DW/me "bought new" and are willing to run each other into the ground...
