Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a very large investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer helpful insight into whether the purchase is a good decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the problems, but it will also bring to light the positives and any likely maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will gain a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the contract or confident enough to continue with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be utilized to find 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 want to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that might be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to make the repairs in advance or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
