Buying a residential home or commercial property is a very large investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer beneficial insight into whether the purchase is a good choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the negatives, but it will also point out the positives and any likely maintenance that may be required 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 determine problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to prevent pricey future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that may be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs in advance or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
