Buying a residential home or commercial property is a big expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer beneficial insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the issues, but it will also point out the positives and any likely maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a thorough inspection, you will posses a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price 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 avoid pricey 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 expose areas of concern that might be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
