Buying a residential home or commercial property is a sizable expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer beneficial insight into whether the purchase is a wise choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the negatives, but it will also point out the positives and any potential maintenance that may be essential in the future. After a thorough 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 used to determine problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to avoid costly future repairs.
If you are considering selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that may be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to make the repairs in advance or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
