Buying a residential home or commercial property is a substantial expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer some insight into whether the purchase is a smart decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the problems, but it will also reveal the positives and any likely maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a complete inspection, you will gain a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price 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 taken to avoid costly future repairs.
If you are considering selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will uncover areas of concern that might be found by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs in advance or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
