Buying a residential home or commercial property is a very large investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer valuable insight into whether the purchase is a good choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the issues, but it will also point out the positives and any probable maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a comprehensive inspection, you will gain a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the contract 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 avoid costly future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may wish to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will uncover areas of concern that may be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to make the repairs in advance or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
