I had a VA loan and I did not have to pay for mine. You might want to call a loan specialist with the mortgage company and ask them. I'm sure they would be able to give to clear and decisive imformation.

That's a good question. It's up to the buyer and seller. Both parties should agree to include it in the price of the home, then the buyer will have to facilitate the inspection. I'm not sure if you have to do a home inspection, but if you don't you can't go to the seller and cry about a massive crack in the foundation, etc.

The buyer is the one that requests the home inspection, so they are the ones who pay for it. It is well work the expense so that you know what you are getting and they seller can be requested to fix some things or reduce the selling price. I actually bought my home and the seller paid for half of everything including the inspection, but that is the way I negotiated my house deal.

Generally, inspection expenses are the responsibility of the buyer, since the inspection is performed for the benefit of the buyer.
All expenses are negotiable but, if you expect the seller to pay, also expect the seller to pick the inspector.

The buyer is ALWAYS responsibe, you cannot expect the seller to pay for inspection after inspection for every person inquiring about the house.(Example 10 interested buyers Times $400.00 is $4000.00 to be paid by the seller?) You can hawever stipulate in the contract that the seller will reimburse the buyer for inspecton costs.

the buyer pays for the home inspection- and a lot of times, depending on how much you are willing to pay will determine the quality inspection you will get

Most home inspectors around here insist on the person they are working for paying for the home inspection so there is no confusion over where their loyalties lie.
If you are the buyer, you want this guy working exclusively for you-no one else.

The buyer.. unless it is arranged before hand that the seller will. But thats rare.
I heartily reccommend getting an inspection. Its generally only a couple hundred $ and could end up saving you thousands or more.

You do, but you can have the cost included in seller's costs if you decide to buy.
At least, that's what happened to me. I had to pay the guy when he came out and inspected, but when I bought the house, they put that charge (along with 100 others) in the seller's closing costs, and reimbursed me.
