Buying a residential home or commercial property is a huge expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer some insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the issues, but it will also bring to light the positives and any likely maintenance that may be required in the future. After a thorough inspection, you will have 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 used to spot problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to avoid pricey future repairs.
If you are considering selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that might be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
