Buying 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 useful insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the negatives, but it will also bring to light the positives and any potential maintenance that may be vital in the future. After a complete inspection, you will posses 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 utilized to identify problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that might be detected 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.
