Re: Attic access problems
If the attic has a scuttle hole in a closet that is full of the owners items, I simply tell everyone that they can either empty the closet, remove the hanging bars and I will be glad to inspect the attic. Most of the time nobody wants to do this so the attic is not inspected, "due to owners items blocking the access."

I really do not worry about this. I would say that out of 100 homes I might have 10 homes with an entrance like this and about 5 of those are full of crap. If I'm in a good mood and everyone is nice, I will offer to come back at my convenience when the owner cleans out the closet.
