Buying a residential home or commercial property is a sizable investment. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer important insight into whether the purchase is a sensible 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 essential 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 spot problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may wish to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that might be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
