Would you ever buy a property without an inspection?
I’m about to purchase a property where everything has been replaced in the last 4 yrs (roof, furnace, AC, siding, windows, kitchen, floors, plumbing, ect.) the previous owner did all the work himself since he is a carpenter. I know an inspection is always the smart thing to do, but I am debating on foregoing the inspection so that the deal can get done. I told the seller I want an inspection and he is totally cool with it and does not believe anything is wrong with the place since it is so new. What are your thoughts?

My branch manager last week said something interesting. He has gone to over 4,000 inspections in his career. And not a single time did an inspector find anything of signifigance that everyone else involved couldnt clearly see with their own eyes.
You can either clearly see the problem....or you cant, and if you cant see it, its not like the inspector has xray vision.
