Can you add the cost of a home inspection to the bais of your home?

Can you add the cost of a home inspection to the bais of your home? If so, what regulation states that. I can not find this info on irs.gov. It doesn't mention home inspections as a cost that increases the basis, but I read on this blog by someone that you can. I know you can add certain closing costs to the basis of your home (Pub 530) Recording fees, surveys, abstract fess, etc. I just didn't know if a home inspection could be included with that.

Home inspection warranty, I brought a new home and my oil heater is leaking what can I do?

I just purchased my first home 5 months ago. When the people came to do the home inspection they checked the air conditioning and I don’t remember if they checked the heater. I purchased the home in the summer time. Now that its winter I am using the heater and it is leaking very bad and it is causing fumes in my home. Is there anything legally I can do to make the previous homeowners liable for covering the charges for a new oil heater? I called the lawyer I used for my closing and I am waiting for a return phone call.

How we can turn on the utilities for a home inspection if the utility company won't let us until we close?

We are FHA preapproved to purchase a home. The home we want has the utilities completely turn off - meter removed from the house due to former owners stealing electric. The bank that now owns the house refuses to turn on the utilites(prob bc they would have to pay big bucks). We agreed to turn the power on in our name, but now the utility co says we need proof of ownership. Can't get that until we close, can't close FHA without home inspection which needs electric, can't get electric without closing. Contacted our congressman, senator, and am now dealing with the BPU. So far, nothing. Other than bringing in a generator, is there anything we can do? Thank you for all your responses!! The bank REFUSES to turn on the utilities. Listing agent advised us to bid accordingly or go 203k. My realtor is wondering if this is illegal. We've since gotten in touch with the BPU and utility executives and they stated they would work with us if the bank accepted our offer. We don't want to go 203k bc if the house doesn't need repairs, we're not going to mortgage money we don't need (not sure if penalties apply to not using funds designated for 203k). Should we hang in there, make offer contingent on home inspection, turn on the utilities in our name after offer is accepted or walk away? House is almost 75k less than it should be. PS - for whatever reason, the 203k deal requires $16k at closing. It's also 1.4% higher interest rate.

Should I select my own home inspection or allow my realtor to recommend someone?

A friend told me that working with a home inspection company/ person that your realtor recommends is not advisable. Apparently, in order to close the deal, the realtor and home inspection company may try and lessen the severity of certain issues discovered during home inspection to hasten the sale of the house. Is this true? possible? What do the experts here suggest.
