Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a big expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer worthwhile insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the negatives, but it will also bring to light the positives and any likely maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will gain a deeper 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 spot problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to prevent costly 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 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.
