I just recently purchased a 3rd-floor condominium unit that was recently converted from an apartment community. I'm hearing both pro's and con's on whether I need a home inspection of the new unit or not. The entire building was built 6 years ago and started out as apartments. It began converting them into condos earlier this year. The builder has thrown in a 1-year warranty on the unit (to cover any potential damages within the warranty period).
The people who are for it say it's worth the peace of mind. The counter-argument is that I'm wasting money and that since the unit is considered to be new (less than 6-7 years old), I'd be wasting my money (home inspectors can still make mistakes and not predict what home repairs/tweaks are needed in the near time-future). What do you say?
