Buying a residential home or commercial property is a big expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer worthwhile insight into whether the purchase is a smart 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 desired in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will have a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the contract 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 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 bring to light areas of concern that might be detected by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs in advance or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
