Purchasing 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 good decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the negatives, but it will also point out the positives and any potential maintenance that may be vital in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will have 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 spot problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to avoid pricey future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before 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 perform the repairs in advance or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
