Buying 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 worthwhile insight into whether the purchase is a smart decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the negatives, but it will also point out the positives and any potential maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a complete 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 utilized to spot problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to avoid pricey future repairs.
If you are considering selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that may be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to perform the repairs in advance or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
