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 some insight into whether the purchase is a good decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the problems, but it will also point out the positives and any potential maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will have a deeper 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 identify problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed 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 reveal areas of concern that may be found 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 advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
