Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a substantial expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy 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 vital in the future. After a thorough inspection, you will gain 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 spot problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are considering selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that might be detected by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to perform the repairs beforehand or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
