Buying a residential home or commercial property is a big expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer beneficial insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the negatives, but it will also point out the positives and any probable maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a thorough 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 determine problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to avoid pricey future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that may be discovered 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 upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
