Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a sizable expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer worthwhile insight into whether the purchase is a sensible choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the problems, but it will also point out the positives and any likely maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will posses 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 identify problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent pricey future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will uncover areas of concern that might be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
