I agree with that, but apparently lots of people, including you, seem
to have a problem with a buyer doing a home inspection and finding real
problems. Leaking drain pipes, water pipes, foundation problems and
electrical connections outside of boxes are all legitimate issues
uncovered by the inspection process.


I never said I had a proble with inspection. I have a problem with the
buyer demanding the fixes. As I said, depends on the price. Many a good
bargain can be had with a 'fixer upper". Sure, the seller can fix them and
perhaps raise the price. Many options exist. Either (or both)
party can walk away.



"Nothing demands that either party give in to the
other."

No way to know that without seeing what's contained in the contract.

There was no contract signed from what was posted. The buyer made an offer
not yet accepted.




Only safety issues? How about leaking water and drain pipes?
Disconnected heating ducts? Virtually all this is gonna get flagged
again by the next inspection, unless you hope to find a buyer that
won't do an inspection, but that may take a long time.

The OP said she never saw leaks. Maybe they exist in the inspector's
imagination. Gain, depends on what you expect and are willing to pay for wh
at you get.



From the OP: place all electrical wires under house in junction boxes.
That's pretty clear to me. Sounds like there are exposed electrical
junctions
under the house that need to be placed in junction boxes. Just about
verything this inspector found seems reasonable to me.

Electrical wires don't go into junction boxes. Only the ends to be connected
do. No, it is not clear. Could well be some UF wire running exposed that
they want in conduit and that is NOT a code requirement.
