Thanks

Have the inspection. “New houses are covered by warranty for the first year” doesn’t cut it. Why? You have to find the issue. If the problem occurs after one year, you will have to pay for the repair. Pay the $350 to have an independent inspector go through your home at purchase AND before your 1 year anniversary.

Ive owned two homes here. During both inspections, the inspectors found issues that go back to construction. Issues that were not identified because “your house is under warranty for the first year”
