Buying a residential home or commercial property is a substantial investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer helpful insight into whether the purchase is a sensible decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the problems, but it will also bring to light the positives and any likely maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a meticulous inspection, you will posses 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 find problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are considering selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that might be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to perform the repairs in advance or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
