Buying a residential home or commercial property is a huge expenditure. 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 uncovers the negatives, but it will also reveal the positives and any potential maintenance that may be vital in the future. After a comprehensive inspection, you will have a stronger 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 utilized to spot 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 prior to going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that may be found 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.
