Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a big investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer worthwhile insight into whether the purchase is a smart decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the issues, but it will also bring to light the positives and any likely maintenance that may be required in the future. After a thorough 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 spot problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to prevent pricey future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that may be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to perform the repairs in advance or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
