Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a huge expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer important 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 likely maintenance that may be required in the future. After a thorough inspection, you will have 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 considering selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that might be detected by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine 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.
