Buying a residential home or commercial property is a sizable expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer important insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the issues, but it will also bring to light the positives and any probable maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a intensive 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 spot problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to prevent pricey 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 bring to light areas of concern that might be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to perform the repairs beforehand or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
