Buying a residential home or commercial property is a very large investment. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer beneficial insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the negatives, but it will also reveal the positives and any likely maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a meticulous inspection, you will have a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the sale or confident enough to continue 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 taken to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are considering selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that may be detected 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.
