Buying a residential home or commercial property is a substantial expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer useful insight into whether the purchase is a smart decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the problems, but it will also bring to light the positives and any probable maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a thorough inspection, you will gain a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the sale or confident enough to move forward with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be used to find problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to avoid pricey 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 may be identified 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 advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
