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!
"Ignoring very basic maintenance like clearing debris causing water to pool on roofs. And ignoring caulking around windows.
My Aunt and Uncle had a beautiful Spanish mission-style house from the 1920s. And it was in really good condition when they bought it.
Roughly 20-25 years later, the only thing in halfway decent condition were the wood floors. Roof was shot and actively leaking in multiple rooms. Causing plaster ceilings to just fall.
Exterior walls were destroyed. Framing was completely destroyed, and again plaster just falling off he walls.
The house stood in great condition for over 70 years. And through minor neglect, fell apart in the last 20."
