When booking the inspection I tell my clients to let let the sellers know to remove all clothes and personal items from the closet to allow me to access the attic area. Of course that information does not always get passed on so either the realtor or buyer have to remove the items, if they are blocking the access, or it just does not get inspected.

A couple weeks ago I came across an attic entrance that was painted shut and could not be removed without breaking open the entrance. My clients realtor contacted the sellers and they agreed to allow me to break the entrance.
