What if the report reveals a problem?
Some properties do conceal certain defects that are not easily detected or visible. Inspection reports are not created to determine whether a buy purchases a property or not. Their primary function is to create awareness of a properties condition. Once a problem is exposed the buyer has the option of having the seller fix the problem or negotiations can take place in order to adjust the purchasing pricing.
