Purchasing 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 worthwhile insight into whether the purchase is a good decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the negatives, but it will also reveal the positives and any probable maintenance that may be essential in the future. After a meticulous inspection, you will posses a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the sale or confident enough to move forward 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 prevent pricey future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may wish to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will uncover areas of concern that may be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to perform the repairs beforehand or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
