Reasons a lender is asking for our inspection report?

We are set to close next Wednesday. We found a few items during the inspection that we wanted repairs for (crawl space, a leaking shower pan that now the shower needs gutted for). The seller agreed to give us credits and we will complete the work when we move in.

Our lender calls us TODAY and claims they need to see the entire inspection report because of “how the due diligence form was written indicating repairs were needed”. In other words, they want to see what exactly was said in the report. We offered to pull the sections out but they are needing the entire report.

I have zero confidence in this lender because they killed our last deal with a very low appraisal price on a home we loved. Now this a week before we close? We’re terrified they’re going to find something and deem it needing fixed or something worse.

Is this standard?

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
