Was 25 and super nervous, so when the realtor was like “oh yeah they just check for basic stuff, but I looked around and it looks great” I was like “Oh okay, this is so astronomically expensive every penny saved is good…”

Everything has been great as far as I can tell. House was built like 40 years ago but super well maintained it seemed and I’ve been super happy. But just curious if maybe I should hire someone to make sure there was nothing outstanding from back then, and no major issues have popped up in the last couple years like leaks/foundation issues, the like.

Is that crazy? Is it weird to call and be like “I’m not selling, I just wanna make sure there are no issues I need to address before they get worse”

Is there a certain type of inspector I should get? I know some inspectors are notoriously lazy.

Also I moved in 2 weeks before covid lock downs happened for time line stuff.

    Oh they definitely like to list absolutely everything.

    When I bought my house the only thing really on the report that was worth worrying about was the hole in the roof which I already knew about.

    Everything else was basically along the lines of, the electrics are a bit old and not the current standard, or the guttering is rotted and needs replacing.

    All things that definitely need looking at in the due course of time, but can be ignored for at least a couple of years.
