Buying a residential home or commercial property is a big investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer some insight into whether the purchase is a good decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the negatives, but it will also reveal the positives and any likely maintenance that may be vital in the future. After a comprehensive inspection, you will have a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price 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 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 reveal areas of concern that might be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
