We did that at 2 preowned, one had ARC approval. One none. We choose wisely
Very wise. This should be the responsibility of the buyer just like a home inspection.

Wondering if there are there any home inspectors who do this for an additional charge?

It may be impossible to "guarantee" compliance given the ambuguity and inconsistentant enforcement of deed restrictions. But they should be able to point out anything major.
