How does a realtor work in your country? I’ve not seen something like that. But it’s very very very standard here to pick your own inspection people or someone the conveyancer/lawyer/solicitor uses. You never ever go the one the seller or their agent wants. For obvious conflict of interest.

The guy would literally have to be soooooo and, they’d drop a house sale to not spend one day with the guy. Seems crazy to me with that amount of money involved that the seller can’t spend one day giving access to the place.

Maybe the guy is well known to find major issues. And once the agent is told the issues exist they then have to be transparent about it. So they just don’t want to know.
