We (and our neighbours) have had a terrible time with contaminated drinking water in the past few years, and the cost to fix it can be in the thousands.

Haha, I don’t know how hidden inspection costs are. We were anticipating them before they happened. So far so good as far as unanticipated costs, but we’ve only been in the house for a few weeks.

I imagine that these inspections weren’t the only additional cost

I find that home inspectors are a hit and miss in how experienced they are and what they check. I have gone through at least 7 inspections when buying my rental properties and am still looking for a great thorough inspector.

I’ve also had a real estate selling agent lie about a house not having asbestos when they clearly had the house tested for asbestos which came back with positive results! Had I know it had asbestos, I would not have needed to get myself and my inspector exposed during the inspection.
