Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a very large investment. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer some insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the problems, but it will also reveal the positives and any potential maintenance that may be required in the future. After a meticulous inspection, you will have a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price or confident enough to move forward with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be utilized to identify problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to avoid costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that might be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
