Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a huge expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer important insight into whether the purchase is a sensible decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the problems, but it will also point out the positives and any probable maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a comprehensive inspection, you will posses a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the contract or confident enough to continue 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 prevent costly future repairs.
If you are considering selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection before 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 beforehand or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
