Buying a residential home or commercial property is a considerable expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer important insight into whether the purchase is a good decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the problems, but it will also bring to light the positives and any likely maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a comprehensive 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 used to find problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to avoid costly future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that might be exposed 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.
