Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a big expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer important insight into whether the purchase is a good decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the negatives, but it will also point out the positives and any probable maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a thorough inspection, you will have a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the sale or confident enough to move forward with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be utilized to identify 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 prior to going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that might be found by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to make the repairs in advance or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
