One doesn't make money by inspecting and issuing a coc. The money is in the repairs.
The problem with the sale of a property, the seller doesnt want to spend any money on the repairs, so the inspector takes short cuts and works on a numbers game, the chance of getting caught is so small that it works in your favour.

This industry is a joke.
