I am a licensed home inspector. After an inspection, included in my packet that includes the report, there are almost 100 pages of "tips and tricks". I've had people call me back years later thanking me for saving them tens of thousands of dollars on mitigation and/or repairs. I'll even offer free advice if they email me. Most home inspections in the US are $400-600. Mine START at $1100 and go up. For that you get a detailed report of every room. What outlets are on what breaker number, "grab" strength of the outlets, CFM from EACH air vent, etc. It's a little comprehensive, and I regularly turn down work as I'm too busy. Don't cheap-out on a THOROUGH home inspection! It's the most expensive purchase you'll likely make! And don't believe a brand-new house, or even one you had built, doesn't need a comprehensive inspection!
"Friend decided to finish his basement. Built his stud wall on the ground and tipped it up to place, discovered it was an inch or two taller than it should have been. Instead of taking it down/apart and cutting to size, he managed to force it into place essentially jacking up a section of his 1st floor.
Upstairs, tile grout began to crack and come up, doors didn’t shut/latch properly and you could see new gaps between the baseboards and flooring."
