Are you interested in buying a particular home?  You have placed an offer to purchase, conditional on inspection of the property.  An Inspection is necessary to identify any defects with the property.  Once the inspection is complete, you will have the knowledge necessary to make an informed decision to purchase. Any defects identified during the inspection can be repaired either by the seller, the buyer (yourself) upon taking possession of the home, or may result in re-negotiating the terms of your offer to purchase
