Buying a residential home or commercial property is a huge investment. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer important insight into whether the purchase is a good choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the problems, but it will also point out the positives and any likely maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a meticulous inspection, you will have a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the contract or confident enough to move forward with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be utilized to find problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may wish to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will uncover areas of concern that might be found by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to perform the repairs beforehand or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
