Buying a residential home or commercial property is a substantial investment. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer some insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the negatives, but it will also bring to light the positives and any likely maintenance that may be required in the future. After a complete 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 utilized to identify problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent pricey future repairs.
If you are considering selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that might be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
