I am going to second the comment about inspections being a croc.
We had an inspector come check our place out and gave the A-OK. Giving also the standard CYA clause.
I smelled gas in the house. No one else did. Then, another inspector comes out, FHA inspector and smells gas. Well, so it’s not in my head. LA hires a HVAC guy to come check it out. Everything A-OK. SDGE comes turns on the gas after we had closed and moved in. Checks for any leaks w/the sniffer. Everything A-OK.
Meanwhile, I’m still smelling gas. I have my husband pressure test the line. Whoooooosh. We thereafter got the leak fixed. Judging from where it was, probably been there for 30 years.
Inspections are a formality and then when you move in, that’s when you really begin to discover things that are wrong w/it.
