I cancelled it right there pressing on breach of contract of "inspection date".

Furthermore the sellers agent was more interested in "my buyer wants to see some sort of assurance in the form of money" - my argument was this.

If Im spending money to hire a pro inspector to check the house - what do you think Im upto? I certainly am not bidding on a locked door am I? - btw I was offering full asking price which is right at par with the market.
Glad you're walking away.

What scares me, is that all parties involved with our house hunt so far are always surprised when we show up with flashlights. Apparently people make offers on houses without looking in basements, attics, or under sinks.

"Why yes, I would love to pay $320k for this 1910 house with a water feature in the basement and an asbestos-filled crawlspace under the other 75% of the house"
