Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a big investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer beneficial insight into whether the purchase is a smart decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the negatives, but it will also point out the positives and any potential maintenance that may be required in the future. After a thorough inspection, you will have a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price or confident enough to continue with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be utilized to find problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that may be found 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.
