How Many Inspections is Enough?
Hello all,
I'm in the process of closing a deal, so far I've had 2 inspections.
First inspection - Necessary. Items were brought up by inspector, no questions about getting this one.
Second Inspection: To address some of the major concerns from the initial inspection. Only around half of the agreed upon items were completed.
Third Inspection????: Trying to decide if it's still worth getting this one. This would be to address the items that were not taken care of in the second inspection.
Major items include:
- Insufficient attic insulation
- Back deck work (flashing, damaged joists)
- Plumbing leaks in a bathroom
- AFCI braker switch not working
etc.
At this point they've proven to me that they are not interested in doing what's agreed upon. Do I pay for yet ANOTHER inspection to protect myself or is this a waste?
Thanks BP community!

@AJ Satcher
Have them provide a invoice with the work showing it’s been done (they can blank out the cost), if they don’t have one assume it’s not done and save your $
