Buying a residential home or commercial property is a sizable investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer some insight into whether the purchase is a sensible choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the issues, but it will also bring to light the positives and any likely maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a complete inspection, you will have 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 wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will uncover areas of concern that may be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
