Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a considerable investment. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer valuable insight into whether the purchase is a sensible choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the problems, but it will also point out the positives and any likely maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a meticulous inspection, you will posses 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 utilized to identify problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to avoid 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 uncover areas of concern that might be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to make the repairs in advance or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
