Buying a residential home or commercial property is a substantial expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer valuable insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the issues, but it will also reveal the positives and any likely maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a meticulous inspection, you will have a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the contract or confident enough to move forward 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 avoid pricey 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 expose areas of concern that may be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to make 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.
