Neither would I as I got an inspection done on the place we moved into.

What do you mean by defects? It's a used house. There's bound to be a few things that may require attention as it's the nature of owning a house. If the house has a roof leak or the furnace isn't working well yeah but I'm not going to say the windows may need to be replaced or the ice maker on the fridge sometimes goes on the fritz.

It makes perfect sense to me because it happened.
