Just get it inspected by a pro and if you know contractors get one to
look at it, you need to learn about the house before you buy it.

home inspector can drive down price when they find problems.....

hey this hot water tank has seepage, see the green scum? you will need
a new tank 800 bucks around here.

house price drops with each deficiency

On other hand any inspector should be independent and 'at arms length'
to both buyer and seller.

Using someone who is 'in the pocket of' (or elated or employed by)
either party, the situation could get expensive later on if faults ARE
discovered and/or (worse) there is litigation!

Probaly worst is "My cousin, who is an inspector" etc. Or someone who
does much 'other' work for the seller.
