Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a sizable expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy 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 reveal the positives and any likely maintenance that may be essential in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will posses a stronger 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 find problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent 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 expose areas of concern that might be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
