Buying a residential home or commercial property is a substantial investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer beneficial insight into whether the purchase is a wise choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the problems, but it will also point out the positives and any likely maintenance that may be needed 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 move forward with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be used to identify problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to avoid pricey future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that might 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 upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
