After my most recent (second) home purchase I vowed never to pay for an inspector again. They assume no liability for the things they miss making them effectively useless if you have even the most basic knowledge of home issues. In both cases major issues were missed, most recently the complete absence of any air return ducts, and an illegally installed furnace. I had to find these issues myself later when constant HVAC problems finally drove me to take some time and climb into the attic/basement to investigate. Upon confronting the inspector, I was shown the portion of the contract indicating they had no liability and told even experts miss things. Luckily I knew the right people to put some pressure on and got my ~$500 back, but ultimately lost thousands to have appropriate repairs done for the work they missed.
