Attorney's to review closing paperwork is quite the norm. A Home Inspection, especially on resales, is normal. Just make sure you get an inspectior who represents you and reports to you - I would avoid an inspector recommended by a sales agent as the sales agent usually works for the seller and not the buyer. In addition, the home inspection industry is highly UNregulated so check out your inspectors credentials and reputation carefully. Having never purchased a brand new home with a warranty, I can't speak to the inspection issue just prior to warranty expiration.
