Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a sizable expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer valuable insight into whether the purchase is a sensible choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the negatives, but it will also point out the positives and any potential maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a intensive inspection, you will gain a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price or confident enough to move forward 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 taken to prevent pricey future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may want to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that may be detected by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to perform 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.
