If there are any settling cracks ( my home is block and stucco) you will be declined and still have to pay the inspection fee. I told the agent that I have some small settling cracks in the garage floor and a few on the exterior block walls........he said no way they would insure.
If you check with TV building and warrantee dept. they will tell you this is normal and of no concern. So the moral is to get it on a new home and and never let it laps!
If any one knows of an insurance company that writes a homeowners policy with out trying to deny you let me know.
If they are going to inspect the homes around the home to be insured I think they need a search warrant.
