Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a very large investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer some insight into whether the purchase is a sensible choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the issues, but it will also point out the positives and any probable maintenance that may be vital 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 identify problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to avoid costly future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may wish 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 beforehand or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
