Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a considerable investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer useful insight into whether the purchase is a sensible decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the problems, but it will also point out the positives and any likely maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a complete inspection, you will have a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the sale or confident enough to continue with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be used to determine problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent pricey future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that may be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to perform the repairs beforehand or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
