Buying 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 worthwhile insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the problems, but it will also bring to light the positives and any potential maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a meticulous inspection, you will have a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the contract or confident enough to continue with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be used to spot 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 bring to light areas of concern that may be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to perform the repairs in advance or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
