Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a sizable expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer helpful insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the negatives, but it will also reveal the positives and any potential maintenance that may be required in the future. After a intensive inspection, you will posses a deeper 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 utilized to spot problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that might be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
