Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a substantial expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer some insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the issues, but it will also bring to light the positives and any potential maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a complete inspection, you will gain a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the sale or confident enough to continue with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be used to determine problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to prevent pricey 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 reveal areas of concern that might be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs in advance or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
