Buying a residential home or commercial property is a sizable expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer beneficial insight into whether the purchase is a sensible decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the negatives, but it will also point out the positives and any potential maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will posses a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price 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 prevent costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will reveal 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 problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
