Reply to comment by Ratatattat44 in TIFU by forgetting about my home warranty for a whole month by Embarrassed_Band_512

Hey there, just had a home inspection done. It was great. Now we know what kind of repairs to ask for in the contract before closing. He pointed out everything that may or may not be a concern in order from most hazardous to least. I don’t know jack shit about home repairs, what a lender requires, and what kind of stuff needs to be addressed sooner rather then later. Hell, before this inspection I didn’t even know that “crickets “ were a thing for chimneys.

All reports from an inspector will have some flavor of this. My advice is just don’t treat it like gospel.

There’s a big difference between “don’t treat it like a gospel “ and “inspections are a scam”.

Which also means you have no idea if they missed anything... and yes, inspections are a scam. Just because there are individuals who operate in the industry who are not necessarily scammers does not mean that the industry itself is not a scam.
