Home Inspection Company Responsibilities - What's the use of a report that doesn't identify problems with the home?
I spoke to a home inspection company and was surprised to learn that they are not responsible for reporting back to the buyer any problems with the home. I specifically asked about finding and reporting any code violations and their response was that I would need a city inspector for type of report. Instead, the inspector would file a report on the condition of the home. I'm confused as to what purpose of a home inspector is not to identify potential problem areas of a home in escrow. For context this inspector was recommended by our agent.
