Buying a residential home or commercial property is a considerable investment. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer beneficial insight into whether the purchase is a smart decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the issues, but it will also bring to light the positives and any potential maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a comprehensive inspection, you will have a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the contract or confident enough to move forward 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 costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that might be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to perform 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.
