Buying 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 helpful insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the issues, but it will also point out the positives and any likely maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a complete inspection, you will have 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 determine problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to avoid pricey future repairs.
If you are considering 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 may be found by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs in advance or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
