Buying a residential home or commercial property is a sizable investment. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer valuable insight into whether the purchase is a good choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the negatives, but it will also reveal the positives and any potential maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a meticulous inspection, you will gain a deeper 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 find problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to prevent costly 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 uncover 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 findings to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
