Buying a residential home or commercial property is a sizable expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer worthwhile insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the negatives, but it will also bring to light the positives and any probable maintenance that may be desired 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 move forward 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 avoid pricey future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that may be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose 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.
