Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a very large expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer valuable insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the problems, but it will also point out the positives and any potential maintenance that may be essential in the future. After a meticulous inspection, you will posses a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the sale or confident enough to continue with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be used to determine problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken 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 reveal areas of concern that may be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
