Home Inspection do or not to do?

Alan May answered:
Since this is a condominium, I can understand why your attorney noted that you may not need a home inspector on the property. In most cases, the condominium owner owns only the "box of air" bounded by the perimeter walls while the homeowners association owns the building and the building components. Thus, if you find a problem with the building, in all likelihood, the repairs will be covered by the homeowners association.

Really? What about all of the appliances in the condo, the gas forced air furnace and air conditioner, the compressor on the roof, that you own (not the building), do all the doors open and close properly, how about the bathrooms... toilets work? good water pressure in the shower, tub, sinks... How's the electrical system... good circuit breaker box? Wiring okay? Are all the outlets and switches wired correctly? No reverse polarity? There's a lot of condo that you own, that doesn't belong to the building. - A few minutes ago
