Buying a residential home or commercial property is a big investment. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer valuable insight into whether the purchase is a sensible choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the problems, but it will also bring to light the positives and any likely maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a meticulous 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 utilized to determine 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 prior to going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that may be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to perform the repairs in advance or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
