buying a house without an inspection

[scaredyclassic]

is it just nuts? is there a discount with which it’s ok? Looking at a place, now to be auctioned, with no inspection contingency, we’ve actually looked at it when it was listed regularly, we like it, not at the asking price but maybe for a substantial discount, can’t really get it inspected cause the power and water is off.

I’m tempted to go bid half what we were willing to offer. am i mad?

There are big ticket items that can be looked out without power and water… foundation, roof, structural integrety. A cracked foundation can be very expensive to repair… a bad roof or existing water damage can be very expensive to repair. Minor termite damage – not a big deal… but if it’s effecting the structural integrety… a big deal.

Personally, I’d want to look at the house closely, even if it wasn’t a formal inspection, before buying.

Unless the price is such that even if it’s a tear down it makes sense…. That’s a different thing.
