Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a sizable investment. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer beneficial insight into whether the purchase is a sensible decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the problems, but it will also bring to light the positives and any likely maintenance that may be vital in the future. After a complete inspection, you will have a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price 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 found 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.
