Dear Monty: You have written numerous articles over time about different problems with home inspections. We are near our savings goal and preparing to buy a home. What is your current opinion of home inspections?
Monty’s Answer: Home inspection laws came into existence because home sellers were either unaware of or hid the defects of the home, or they made inadequate repairs to get the best home price. Homebuyers called for regulation to protect themselves from buying homes with such defects.
