Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a huge expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer some insight into whether the purchase is a wise choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the problems, but it will also point out the positives and any likely maintenance that may be required in the future. After a comprehensive inspection, you will posses a stronger 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 utilized to spot problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to avoid pricey future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that may be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine 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.
