Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a substantial investment. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer useful insight into whether the purchase is a good decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the negatives, but it will also reveal the positives and any likely maintenance that may be essential 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 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 taken to avoid costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will uncover areas of concern that might be found by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make 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.
