> As far as I know there isn't any way to recover costs from them

My home inspector had a 1 year warranty on anything that he tested in his report. Does that mean the company will cover all damages or buy the property from you, no; but it is a small disincentive to be a rubber stamp.

I bet you would find that his report is worded carefully to not include anything that would be expensive to repair.

And really, the most expensive repairs are on things you can't see. Wiring. Plumbing. Damage to the structure of the house.

Even then I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to weasel out of for example your roof started leaking 2 months after you move in. The inspector will point out that there was no water damage when he inspected it so the issue developed after the inspection.
