Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a substantial expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer valuable insight into whether the purchase is a smart decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the negatives, but it will also bring to light the positives and any likely maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a complete inspection, you will gain a deeper 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 spot problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to avoid pricey future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that may be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
