Look at it this way: he saved you from buying a house that was uninhabitable. When you do your job, you expect to get paid, don't you? He did the job, which was to inspect the house. He needs his money.

If, as part of your loan application, you agreed to a loan inspection by a VA qualified inspector (and, if you read the fine print, you probably agreed), you do need to reimburse the inspector for his charges. Your VA inspection was not done at the behest of the seller, but at YOUR behest, because you wanted a VA loan. Such expenses are yours to bear, whether or not the purchase closes.

Well the inspector did his job I am assuming, "services rendered", then he deserves to be paid. Now who pay's is the question, depends on the relationship you have in the transaction.

The inspector does get paid for carrying out his inspection. Usually it’s paid out of closing, but if you don’t buy the house, then you owe him some money. But look at it this way – he saved you a ton of money had you bought the house.

You still need to pay the inspector, even if you don't buy a house.
