Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a very large expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer valuable insight into whether the purchase is a smart decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the problems, but it will also bring to light the positives and any likely maintenance that may be required in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will have a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the sale or confident enough to move forward with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be utilized to identify problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to avoid costly 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 expose areas of concern that might be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make 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.
