Buying a residential home or commercial property is a sizable investment. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer worthwhile insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the issues, but it will also reveal the positives and any probable maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a intensive 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 used to determine problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are considering selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that may be found by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose 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.
