Buying a residential home or commercial property is a sizable investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer some insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the problems, but it will also reveal the positives and any likely maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will posses 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 utilized to find problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to avoid costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that might be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to perform the repairs in advance or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
