It doesn’t mean you can’t do an inspection, it just means you can’t use the results to walk away from the obligation to buy the house.[/quote]

So then how does that create peace of mind[/quote]

But the sellers also have no obligation to let an inspector into their house either.  So you can ask, but they can also very reasonable say no "do it after we close"[/quote]

The standard contract usually allows the purchaser to request access to inspect the property, outside of an inspection contingency. While not having an inspection contingency means that you can't easily renegotiate based on the inspection, the reality is that 1) sellers frequently lie on disclosures and you don't have to move forward with a contract based on fraud and 2) sellers REALLY don't want you to hand them the inspection because then they will have disclose everything the inspection found to any future purchasers and 3) sellers cannot re-list a property while in litigation over a deposit.

I always inspect, but I have not had an inspection contingency in the last 25 years.
