Buying a residential home or commercial property is a substantial expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer worthwhile 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 required in the future. After a meticulous inspection, you will have 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 utilized 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 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 in advance or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
