Boy is that negative. Well, I'm not an electrician -- nor is my husband -- so not sure how much weight our experience carries but here it is anyway.

We bought an older (1993) CY villa north of 466 last spring. We followed the inspector around and asked him a ton of questions. He did find a few minor things wrong, leaky faucet, kitchen cabinet hinge loose, that type of thing. Otherwise he said the villa was in great shape. Then this summer my son-in-law was crawling around in the attic seeing whether or not he could move the cable to another wall. We call him our man with tools -- not a licensed anything, but lots of experience remodeling, restoring. He thought our place was in fine shape.

Guess if you are concerned, you could buy a resale and make it contingent on a thorough inspection. We are very pleased.
