if you hire a home inspector, make sure you get a good one. also don't assume they are going to look for cosmetic things as they may or maynot.
you should do your own as well, looking at base boards, window and door casings for gaps or dammage, also look at kitchen cabnets, counter tops, light fixtures, paint on the walls ect... this is your time to be able to say I want this fixed or that touched up. I know it is hard as I did this a month ago, but be pickey with the cosmetic stuff as realy it is only going to cost them some ones hourly wage to fix it up. as for bigger stuff... hopefuly you got a good home inspector.
I was told by the one the buyers of my house hired that one of the things to look for in one is that they use a web/computer generated report. you get pictures and it also means they have spent the money to give you a comprehensive report instead of just a tick in the box list.
