Buying a residential home or commercial property is a big expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer useful insight into whether the purchase is a smart decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the negatives, but it will also reveal the positives and any potential maintenance that may be required in the future. After a meticulous 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 find problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to avoid pricey future repairs.
If you are considering selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that might be found 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 advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
