Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a big 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 decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the negatives, but it will also point out the positives and any probable maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a complete inspection, you will have a stronger 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 avoid costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will uncover areas of concern that may be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to perform the repairs beforehand or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
