Previously Complied with Home Inspection

[Brent T Howell]

Hello BP,

We just recently got an offer accepted on a house here in Anchorage, Alaska. The selling agent was quick and forthcoming with a previously completed home inspection from just 13 days prior. The way I figure is I have two options. 

1. Take that inspection and use it for my own and save myself 700 dollars. 

2. Re-accomplish a new inspection so to rule out any wrong doing.  

Taking option 1 I figure I will research the company and make sure everything is on the up and up. 

I know this is ultimately a personal decision however I trust what this community has to say so your advise would be much appreciated. 

Thank you very much!

Brent

I have seen some HORRIBLE home inspectors. I mean incompetent, didn't check ages of utilities, didn't go in attics, crawl spaces, test any electrical/plumbing, didn't go on or look at roof... I 100% would only use an inspector I trusted.
