So you are buying a new home? No one has ever lived in the home. Paint is fresh, carpets are clean. You expect that if a home is new there is nothing to worry about, right? Wrong.
Some problems with new homes that I have seen as a home inspector are as follows: The fire blocking was missing in the attic at the chimney. The fire blocking is designed to keep the fire out of the attic should there be a fire in the chimney. Insulation is missing in the attic which hurts your energy efficiency. Circuit breaker panels are wired incorrectly.
Whether buying a new or old home, every home should be inspected.
