Purchasing 1st property, closing 9/13. Pest inspection question..
I'm purchasing my first property 4BR 2 1/2 bath. I plan to keep 2 rooms for myself and rent out the other two. The seller paid for a pest inspection. I read the report and it was just a visual inspection with multiple areas being marked off as obstructed or inaccessible. The invoice was for $35. Is this normal? I want something more thorough. I want to know what I'm buying. Any advice on dealing with this? Has he met his end of the agreement for buying the bare minimum or can I request something else? Is there something more thorough that can be done or is a visual inspection all they can do?
