Buying a residential home or commercial property is a considerable investment. 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 negatives, but it will also point out the positives and any potential maintenance that may be required in the future. After a comprehensive 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 wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that may be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
