Was 25 and super nervous, so when the realtor was like “oh yeah they just check for basic stuff, but I looked around and it looks great” I was like “Oh okay, this is so astronomically expensive every penny saved is good…”
Everything has been great as far as I can tell. House was built like 40 years ago but super well maintained it seemed and I’ve been super happy. But just curious if maybe I should hire someone to make sure there was nothing outstanding from back then, and no major issues have popped up in the last couple years like leaks/foundation issues, the like.
Is that crazy? Is it weird to call and be like “I’m not selling, I just wanna make sure there are no issues I need to address before they get worse”
Is there a certain type of inspector I should get? I know some inspectors are notoriously lazy.
Also I moved in 2 weeks before covid lock downs happened for time line stuff.
For my first house, the bank’s inspector literally stopped his van in the middle of the road, took some pictures with his cell phone through the driver’s window, and drove off. He never even left his vehicle.
Pretty much all my bank inspector did as well. He didn’t even inspect the electrical outlets because there was furniture in the way that he couldn’t be arsed moving.
My paid for inspection was done by a different person and they did all sorts. He even pointed out that the hole in the roof, was a hole in the roof, which was very helpful. The bank inspector never even noticed the hole.
