I have to say it depends. It depends on how much you know about houses and how good the inspector is. We had two inspectors inspect a house and one found three things wrong and one found three pages of things wrong. It depends on how detailed they are. Since we know a lot about houses I would not bother with an inspector again. But that said, I think your idea of hiring a builder, electrician, plumber, septic guy, mason even, etc. is a good idea. If the inspector finds something, you will likely have to hire the others to get an estimate to fix the problem anyway. Most people need to have a house checked out one way or the other unless they like the spot and don't care what might be wrong with the house.
