Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a huge expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer useful insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the problems, but it will also point out the positives and any likely maintenance that may be essential in the future. After a thorough inspection, you will gain a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price 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 prevent costly future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that may be found 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 advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
