Buying a residential home or commercial property is a very large investment. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer useful insight into whether the purchase is a sensible choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the issues, but it will also point out the positives and any potential maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a meticulous inspection, you will posses a deeper 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 find problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may wish 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 choose whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
