I do not think The Villages allows you to have a home inspection on new construction before purchase since you don't own the home and they do. I know they allowed my State Farm inspection for sinkhole coverage to be performed prior to closing. I suggest a home inspection right after closing even if just for cosmetic issues. Cosmetic issues must be reported within the first seven days. If you do not have an attention to detail, then at least have someone who does come in and give a good exam. A good way is to examine during different times of day and night. When direct sunlight hits my cabinets they look awful. When it is very dark out, turn out all the lights and examine everything with a flashlight - you will be shocked! You may need to clean the windows and I say this is a priority to examine them. If cosmetic defects do not bother you and you are willing to live with them then you do not need to worry about this at all. I have been in numerous new homes that have tons of cosmetic defects and other people seem to be oblivious or choose to do nothing about them.
