Buying a residential home or commercial property is a considerable expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer important insight into whether the purchase is a sensible decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the negatives, but it will also reveal the positives and any probable maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a complete inspection, you will posses 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 determine problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that may be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to perform the repairs beforehand or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
