Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a sizable expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer useful insight into whether the purchase is a sensible choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the problems, but it will also reveal the positives and any potential maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a comprehensive inspection, you will have a deeper 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 used to determine problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent pricey future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that may be detected by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose 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.
