Buying a residential home or commercial property is a big investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer worthwhile insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the negatives, but it will also point out the positives and any likely maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a thorough inspection, you will gain a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the sale or confident enough to move forward with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be used to spot problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed 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 uncover areas of concern that may be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose 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.
