Disagree, adamantly. Name one HI who bought a roof like that after walking on it. Not to mention there are other things to look for on the roof.
Liar, Liar pants on fire!

Thread drift…my wife’s niece and family are buying a home on Long Island, NY. Her husband sent me the inspection report. In one of the photos, the garage roof clearly has a huge sag in it, but the inspector barely has a passing mention of it with the comment that some garage roof shingles have been replaced and patched.
I said Whoa! Back up there pardner. I want to know way, way more about that-there sag. I told him to call a roofer for an evaluation and at the least, a good contractor or SE. As dumb luck would have it, the roofer he called, did the patch. The roofer told him that a tree had fallen on the roof and crushed part of it and the only repair they did was replace the damaged shingles. No other work was done.
Guys…I’m not going to throw his inspector under a bus. We all make mistakes but this is a big one. One of my big five things that we should all get right is the roof.

Was the roof structure exposed or accessible in the attic space? What other work needed to be done?
All good questions that the inspector failed to address. My criticism includes the inspector’s lack of curiosity about why there is this big-ass sag in the roof.
