Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a considerable investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer useful insight into whether the purchase is a wise choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the problems, but it will also bring to light the positives and any potential maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a meticulous inspection, you will posses a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the contract or confident enough to move forward with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be used to find problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that might be found by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
