Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a big investment. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer helpful insight into whether the purchase is a good decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the problems, but it will also point out the positives and any likely maintenance that may be vital in the future. After a intensive 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 selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection prior to 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 perform the repairs in advance or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
