Most likely yes. Unless it's a tear down or the buyer is qualified to do an inspection him/herself, there's going to be a buyer's inspection in most cases, a lender will require one for sure. If there's something major wrong the buyers will want it fixed at the owners expense best case, or worst case buyers will walk after deciding 'what else is wrong that the inspection didn't find' and/or just because they don't want the hassle/uncertainty. You takes your chances...We opted not to have an inspection. House is in good shape, but we found out that if you have an inspection and find something unknown, then it must be disclosed.Still, even if we don't have our own inspection so we don't have to disclose some unexpected problem, wouldn't a buyer's inspection likely show that same problem? And if it does, they would probably expect resolution, which would probably be less convenient at that time.
