Buying 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 useful insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the problems, but it will also point out the positives and any potential maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a comprehensive inspection, you will have a stronger 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 determine problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent pricey future repairs.
If you are considering selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will uncover areas of concern that may be exposed 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.
