Buying a residential home or commercial property is a big expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer important insight into whether the purchase is a wise choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the negatives, but it will also bring to light the positives and any potential maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a thorough inspection, you will have a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the contract 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 prevent pricey future repairs.
If you are considering selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that might be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to perform the repairs in advance or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
