The buyer generally wants the home inspector to go back and check and many of our home inspectors do it as part of their services. They don't wait until the walk through to go but go days earlier.

I always recommend they do, but most people will rely on the receipts we requested and their own final walk thru.

At times I have, but many times I try to be there during some of the repair times to see what is going on.  I have a good background in construction so I can see if the repaair is going in a direction I would want to see.

Patricia Kennedy No, I do not bring the inspector to the walk through. I ask for paid invoices to prove the work has been done.

 Good Sunday morning Patricia. I have been hired to verify that the repairs have been done in a workmanlike fashion prior to settlement. I always ask the buyers agent and the buyers to secure all receipts for work performed. One can tell by the cost of the repairs whether it was done by handyman or a professional.

I recommend that to my clients, but as a second inspection costs money they need to decide whether to spend it the money. Typically, we also get a receipt for the work done so people know whom to contact if it turns out there's a later problem. But I don't personally verify that work was done correctly... that's a liability I can't take on. Caveat emptor.

I never have but that is a great idea.  Usually I specify the repairs must be done by licensed electrician, plumber etc with receipts provided.
