Get 2 separate inspections, unless you trust your inspector with you life. Do this even if you aren't asking for repairs, KNOW what you are buying ahead of time


That’s ludicrous……and a colossal waste of money. It’s not hard finding a reputable inspector. I have a gentleman I’ve been referring for yrs and have never had a complaint and have had clients use him multiple times.

Get a survey, you never know how many people think they own your property, ESPECIALLY if near or on water.


Survey? Maybe for an irregular lot. The other part is handled by a title company and what title insurance is for. Title companies are also likely to have a survey.

Roof, windows, mold, siding/stucco, slab/driveway, furnace/AC, and wiring. EACH one of these can cost you tens of thousands of dollars with simply minor issues.


Lot of windows to equal tens of thousands of dollars.


All these real estate threads are filled to the brim with ignorance and exaggeration. If you are uncomfortable with an inspectors findings in any manner, have a specialist come out and double check

Renewal by Anderson quote for my window replacements was over $330k. Yes I agree it can be LOTS of money.

I obviously didn't use Anderson, but was able to simply replace my IGU's, but even then it cost me close to 30K.
