Buying a residential home or commercial property is a substantial investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer helpful insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the negatives, but it will also bring to light the positives and any likely maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a comprehensive inspection, you will posses a deeper 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 utilized to find problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to avoid 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 reveal areas of concern that might be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
