Buying a residential home or commercial property is a very large investment. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing 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 bring to light the positives and any probable maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will have a deeper 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 utilized to determine problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to avoid pricey future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that might be found by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to perform 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.
