Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a huge expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer worthwhile insight into whether the purchase is a smart 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 essential in the future. After a complete inspection, you will posses 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 identify problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that might be found by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to perform the repairs beforehand or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
