Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a huge investment. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer helpful insight into whether the purchase is a sensible choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the problems, but it will also bring to light the positives and any potential maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a intensive inspection, you will have a stronger 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 used to find problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent pricey future repairs.
If you are 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 identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose 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.
