Buying a residential home or commercial property is a sizable investment. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer helpful insight into whether the purchase is a wise choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the issues, but it will also bring to light the positives and any likely maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a intensive inspection, you will gain a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price or confident enough to continue with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be utilized to identify problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may wish to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that may be exposed 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.
