Which of the following is NOT a primary objective of a home inspection?

Identifying cosmetic issues is not a primary objective of a home inspection because inspections focus on the overall integrity, safety, and functionality of a property, rather than on surface aesthetics. The main goals of a home inspection are to detect major defects, assess safety risks, and evaluate the functionality of systems such as electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. While cosmetic issues might be noted during an inspection, they do not significantly impact the safety or structural integrity of the home, thus they are considered secondary to the main concerns addressed in a comprehensive inspection.
