You’re looking at stuff that is very superficial. Ceilings and paneling are cosmetic items only. Of more importance as a future homeowner:
What kind of electrical service does it have? 100 Amp or 200 Amp? An older house is likely to have 100 Amp service (and fuses) instead of a more capacious 200 Amp box with circuit breakers.
Heating and hot water system? Age, type, condition and capacity.
What is the plumbing like? You’ll want ¾” copper water pipe inside, but you might only have ½”. The smaller diameter means that you won’t be able to shower and run the dishwasher concurrently unless you like cold showers, and a flushing toilet can mean a scalding shower.
How old is the roofing and what condition is that in?
What is the basement like? Dry? Any signs of water lines on the walls, mold, rust, etc? What is the foundation material and how good is that? Any bulges or cracks in foundation walls?
What is the house siding like? Vinyl, aluminum, wood & paint? Attic insulation material and thickness? What kind of windows does the place have? How is the exterior wood trim, any dry rot?
You really need an inspector who knows what he’s looking for and can evaluate conditions and sometimes even give you a ballpark estimate of costs to repair or replace.
The things that you’ve mentioned would be among the very last things I looked at as a prospective buyer, and they would be “interesting” but not crucial.
PS: I never even thought about termites, insects and other pests and vermin. The yard. The neighborhood. The garage and driveway. You need someone with a checklist of what to look for and experience in looking at those things.
