Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a sizable expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer important insight into whether the purchase is a sensible choice.
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 desired in the future. After a meticulous 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 identify problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that might be exposed 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.
