Buying a residential home or commercial property is a substantial investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer valuable insight into whether the purchase is a good decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the negatives, but it will also reveal the positives and any likely maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a complete 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 employed to avoid pricey future repairs.
If you are considering selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that might be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to perform the repairs beforehand or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
