Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a huge investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer useful insight into whether the purchase is a sensible choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the problems, but it will also bring to light the positives and any probable maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a intensive inspection, you will gain a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the sale or confident enough to continue 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 taken to avoid costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that might be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
