Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a big expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer beneficial insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the negatives, but it will also point out the positives and any likely maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a intensive inspection, you will gain 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 utilized to determine problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are considering selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that may be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine 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.
