Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a huge investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer beneficial insight into whether the purchase is a good choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the problems, but it will also point out the positives and any likely maintenance that may be required in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will gain a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price or confident enough to continue with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be used to identify problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to avoid costly 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 perform 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.
