Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a big expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer worthwhile insight into whether the purchase is a sensible choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the negatives, but it will also bring to light the positives and any potential maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a thorough inspection, you will posses 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 used to identify problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are considering selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that may be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to perform the repairs beforehand or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
