Items missed during home buying inspection
Hi, I had a home inspection done on a property I bought last July. On Thanksgiving Day, the tile floor suddenly cracked in the living room. The contractor found a broken joist and others that were in need of repair in the living room area. When the flooring to replace all of the cracked tile was done, the flooring company found more weak spots in the bedroom. The flooring company knew nothing about the joist issues. I'm wondering does the inspector have any liability here since this was not noted on the inspection and therefore, I was not given a chance to negotiate repairs of the joists in the purchase price or walk away from the deal? Thanks.
