Buying 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 beneficial insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the problems, but it will also reveal the positives and any probable maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a thorough inspection, you will posses a stronger 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 determine problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent pricey future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that might be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine 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.
