Buying a residential home or commercial property is a huge expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer useful insight into whether the purchase is a sensible 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 required in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will have a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price or confident enough to move forward 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 avoid pricey future repairs.
If you are planning to sell 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 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.
