Buying a residential home or commercial property is a very large expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer worthwhile insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the negatives, but it will also bring to light the positives and any probable maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a meticulous inspection, you will gain a deeper 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 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 want to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that may be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
