Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a big investment. 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 exposes the negatives, but it will also reveal the positives and any likely maintenance that may be vital in the future. After a thorough 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 utilized to identify problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that may be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to make 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.
