Recently, I had a client who thought that I was being silly when I suggest she get her newly constructed home inspected. Why? After all its under warranty. That was the opinion of this client. Then, 45 days after she had placed the contingency on the new house the salesmen presented her with a disclosure because the house had mold remediation during construction. Suddenly, my client saw the wisdom of inspecting a new home.
While in this instance, nothing too major came about from the inspection, we did provide the builder four pages of minor repairs and item not done to code. We also received a clean bill of health on the mold issue.
Home inspection cost very little for the wealth of information they provide. Ideally, you would want a new home inspected at each stage of the construction to insure proper plumbing and wiring. Things you can not see once the sheetrock goes up.
It's much better to spend a few hundred dollars to find out that everything was done correctly than to find out from the fire depart what was done wrong.
