Buying a residential home or commercial property is a huge expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer beneficial insight into whether the purchase is a good decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the problems, but it will also reveal the positives and any likely maintenance that may be essential in the future. After a thorough inspection, you will have a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the contract or confident enough to continue with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be used to determine problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to avoid costly future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will uncover areas of concern that may be found by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs in advance or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
