Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a sizable investment. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer some insight into whether the purchase is a wise choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the problems, but it will also reveal the positives and any probable maintenance that may be vital in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will posses a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the contract or confident enough to move forward 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 employed to avoid 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 exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to perform 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.
