Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a considerable investment. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer helpful insight into whether the purchase is a sensible choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the negatives, but it will also bring to light the positives and any potential maintenance that may be required in the future. After a comprehensive inspection, you will gain a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price or confident enough to continue with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be used to spot 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 might be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to perform the repairs in advance or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
