Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a considerable investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer useful insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the problems, but it will also point out the positives and any likely maintenance that may be needed 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 continue with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be used to find problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will uncover areas of concern that may be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to make the repairs in advance or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
