As far as inspections go. If it’s a 30 year old house and the original HVAC. It doesn’t matter if it works or not. It’s essentially worthless. Similar on a roof, if it’s 20 years old it needs replacing “soon” if it leaks or not. If it’s a 10 year older house and the HVAC is broken, just fix it.
If the house is $250K these things matter. At $4M they are a minor nuisance.
Structural issues that are not obvious, in expensive homes are not that common.
Fir the most part, my experience with building inspectors on both sides has been a joke. But they can be handy for other reasons (for the buyer).
Septic inspection and site assessment are way more important.
