On most home inspection reports you will note that there will be a phrase that says something like: "this inspection report is for the exclusive use of our client only. Unauthorized use by third parties is expressly prohibited."
Why is that such a big deal?
Let's say that a buyers agent shares inspection report done for client A with client B. The home inspection company had a contract with client A. Client B looks over the inspection report, doesn't see anything significant and decides to purchase the house. A few months later, client B realizes that the home is in significant disrepair and it will be very costly to fix. Client B then decides to seek reparations from the home inspector for failing to disclose significant defects within the building. Unfortunately, client B will have a tough road ahead prevailing in this case since client B was not under contract for the home inspection in the first place.
