Buying a residential home or commercial property is a substantial investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer some insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the issues, but it will also reveal the positives and any probable maintenance that may be vital in the future. After a meticulous 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 find problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will uncover 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 problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
