Be aware that many home inspectors are not as qualified as they would like you to think. We recently sold our 3 yr old modular and the inspector they hired was a complete failure. He told the perspective buyers that the roof vents were not cut in , the insulation was insufficient . We called the dealer we bought from, who quickly sent out a contractor to fix these issues.
It turned out to be completely unfounded and incompetence on the part of the inspector. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the home but it nearly cost us a deal.It did cost me out of pocket to pay for their stupidity.
I think a lot of these inspection companies feel that if they scuttle a few deals it is good for business as they will be called to inspect the next home since they "saved the buyer" from the last deal.
