Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a big expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer some insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the issues, but it will also point out the positives and any probable maintenance that may be essential in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will have 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 identify problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that may be detected by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs in advance or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
