Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a very large expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer useful insight into whether the purchase is a good decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the negatives, but it will also reveal the positives and any potential maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a meticulous 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 spot problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to avoid costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that might be detected by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to perform the repairs in advance or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
