Buying a residential home or commercial property is a huge expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer some insight into whether the purchase is a wise choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the negatives, but it will also bring to light the positives and any potential maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will gain a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the contract or confident enough to continue with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be utilized to spot problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to avoid costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that might be discovered 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 upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
