Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a big investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer helpful insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the problems, but it will also bring to light the positives and any likely maintenance that may be required in the future. After a comprehensive inspection, you will gain a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price or confident enough to continue with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be used to find problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will uncover areas of concern that may be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose 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.
