Buying 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 smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the issues, but it will also reveal the positives and any likely maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a meticulous inspection, you will posses a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the contract 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 employed to avoid costly future repairs.
If you are considering selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will uncover areas of concern that may be found by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose 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.
