Holy $h!t, how is that even remotely legal? I"m assuming that it did have the Electrical "Final" inspection sticker viewable on the inside of the electrical panel door? Still that's BS and definitely shouldn't be legal. Thanks for sharing as I"ve never encountered that but it'd be a deal breaker if I were the potential buyer...

Can the person buying the house not take out the six screws, put the panel down, and let you walk by it? There is no way a builder would tell me I could not open that panel if I were buying the house.

I know you’re a small channel and all and you probably are very qualified I have seen videos of people going in and inspecting an attic or roof and maybe they only show the worse of the worst but I’ve seen missing trusses. I’ve seen bad lumber being used. I’ve seen a lot of stuff not up to code that will cause problems and I’ve seen stuff that will 100% and you would agree would cause a leak and it could end up being relatively catastrophic damage , because they simply inspected the roof in the attic Not everyone’s perfect not all inspectors and not all builders are perfect. Everyone misses things. As somebody who would hire an inspector, what I would expect is they do a thorough job and find problems. The builder maybe just didn’t see or overlooked that would cause problems. As a consumer, my thought is they should work together and not fight with each other. If something doesn’t look right, it’s probably not right. I’m just some random guy on the Internet what do I know

LOL. Quite common here in the Midwest. Builders will often put the AC condenser right next to the back porch. It's not as big a problem as you might think, as you typically have the AC off if you're doing a backyard barbeque.

The Draftsman or Architect should have stressed the need for it especially with attic hvac split system. We draw 30” in the clear between trusses/rafters with ladder framing at 24”oc top and bottom using a 30” x 30” attic access. 30” min headroom is a laugh I try to get at least 5’.

You know why the builder can get away with that kind of potential concealment? Because of the housing shortage. If one buyer says no, there are too many lined up behind that one buyer, and they'll very likely say yes, despite that suspicious restriction. The housing market, particularly on a corporate level, is too unregulated, and thus we have all of this caveat emptor, with potential for life-ruination, going on.

The builder most likely entices buyers to use their affiliated mortgage company 99% of the time so the loan will be made allowing this POST closing inspection requirement. An independent mortgage company however would demand an independent inspection (and appraisal) before making the loan. I'm curious if someone using their own mortgage company would be prevented from buying because of the PRE closing inspection requirement of their mortgage company? Making rules that force or steer buyers to use a specific mortgage company is illegal. This sounds like fraud or damn close.
