Buying a residential home or commercial property is a substantial expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer important insight into whether the purchase is a smart decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the issues, but it will also reveal the positives and any potential maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will gain a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price or confident enough to move forward 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 taken to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are selling 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 found by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to perform the repairs in advance or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
