Buying a residential home or commercial property is a considerable expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer some 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 potential maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will posses a deeper 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 used to identify problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to avoid costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that may be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs in advance or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
