Buying a residential home or commercial property is a very large expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer worthwhile insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the issues, but it will also bring to light the positives and any probable maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a complete inspection, you will posses a deeper 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 costly future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that might be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to make the repairs in advance or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
