Buying a residential home or commercial property is a considerable expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer worthwhile insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
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 required in the future. After a complete 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 determine problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to avoid costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that may be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
