The above is a pretty good list but not all inclusive of the items you can inspect when purchasing a home.  The most common is the whole house inspection combined with termite and radon.  You are looking around $400-450 for those three inspections.  Each additional inspection could be associated with a small fee as well.  You have the right to inspect as much or as little as you would like depending on your concerns.  If you have any doubt you should inspect, you don't want to end up with issues down the line that you have to end up paying for when you could have had the seller chip in or fix all together.  Most states limit the time you have to inspect with the right to renegotiate or back out.  Therefore you will want to make sure you can get all the people you want to inspect out in a timely manor.  A small inspection fee can save you thousands down the line or even get you out of home with a lot of issues.
