Buying a residential home or commercial property is a substantial expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer useful insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the negatives, but it will also bring to light the positives and any potential maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a thorough inspection, you will gain a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the sale or confident enough to continue 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 taken to avoid pricey future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will uncover areas of concern that might be detected by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to perform the repairs beforehand or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
