"Pretty Salty" Mella?I went back and read pages 2-5 as well and never saw anything about a home inspection. Yes, I saw that there were permits and inspections by the county as they were building several years ago, but a qualified home inspector (hired by the buyer before the contingency period)would have seen the refacing issue on the slab, as well as questioned the caution tape and probably other related issues that a typical home owner would not see (hairline cracks etc.) We even had a geological inspection & survey done on our property, mostly because we are on the coast, but also because of earthquake issues.
And if there was a qualified home inspection done, the inspection company can also be held responsible for not noting those issues. In the end, you hire this company to protect you from such issues arising and they take the liability regarding forseeable issues. In addition to the qualifying paperwork, we have our entire inspection on a DVD, they video taped it all for us. Great for use in a courtroom situation!
