[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've done it before. Called an informational inspection. Nothing revealed in the inspection could be used to get out of the sale[/quote]

[b]But be prepared for the seller to say "We close on October 10th.  Schedule your inspection for the 11th"[/b]

Which is exactly what I did when my buyer wanted to get an inspector into the house[/quote]

+1.  When I was a first time home seller I allowed an informational inspection.  I still ended up having to fix small things because of other contract language as it relates to plumbing, electrical, and HVAC (this was VA about 20 years ago).  So while it wasn’t nitpicky items or a negotiation it still cost me a few hundred dollars. There are also laws at least in MD where the seller would have to disclose if anything was major found in the home inspection if the deal fell through and they needed to put it back on the market.

So knowing what I know now, I would absolutely say you can inspect after closing because there would be zero benefit to me as the seller to allow it before and I know they are saying to the buyer - oh just get an informational inspection ….they seller still has to fix abc and disclose  xyz …[/quote]
