Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a big expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer worthwhile insight into whether the purchase is a sensible choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the negatives, but it will also point out the positives and any probable maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a thorough inspection, you will posses 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 determine 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 want to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that may be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to perform the repairs beforehand or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
