Buying a residential home or commercial property is a big investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer important insight into whether the purchase is a good decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the problems, but it will also reveal the positives and any potential maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a complete inspection, you will posses 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 taken to prevent pricey future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that might be detected 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.
