Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a very large investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer valuable insight into whether the purchase is a good decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the problems, but it will also point out the positives and any likely maintenance that may be required in the future. After a meticulous inspection, you will gain a stronger 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 used to find problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to prevent pricey future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that may be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs in advance or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
