You state the realtor recommended the inspector. This may be a conflict of interest?
In any event there are a number of potential defendants if this case goes to suit. FOR YOUR SAKE DON'T SPEAK TO ANY ONE ELSE UNTIL YOU CALL AN ATTORNEY. KEEP ALL WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION YOU WERE GIVEN CLOSE AT HAND WHAT YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY SAW, SAID AND DID IS ALSO CRUCIAL EVIDENCE.
This is not something Senor v Crimes should be consulted about
Good luck

The house was built in 2005 so we added the clause to our offer saying we wanted assurance the roof was insurable. The home inspector said the roof was in great shape and would last another 10 years. We closed with that, called our previous insurance people, sent a copy to them and they gave us insurance but after the hurricane, we saw a couple of shingles on the ground. For safe measure, we had it checked and you know the rest.
