Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a huge investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer some insight into whether the purchase is a sensible decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the problems, but it will also bring to light the positives and any likely maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a complete inspection, you will gain a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the sale or confident enough to move forward with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be utilized to determine 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 bring to light areas of concern that may be detected 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 upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
