Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a huge expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer worthwhile insight into whether the purchase is a smart decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the issues, but it will also bring to light the positives and any likely maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a intensive inspection, you will posses 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 used to determine problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent costly 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 bring to light areas of concern that may be exposed 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 advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
