The house will have a "satisfactory home inspection" (if you just say an inspection you are still on the hook to buy it).
And approval of my lawyer, she should ask for the property disclose statement, if there's funky wording she catches it.

My guess it the vender has hidden the damage and did it well.

Unfortunately, a lot of times the realtor is in bed with the home inspector, kind of takes the impartiality out.
