Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a sizable expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer valuable insight into whether the purchase is a good choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the negatives, but it will also reveal the positives and any probable maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will posses a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price 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 employed to prevent costly 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 may be detected by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to perform the repairs in advance or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
