Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a huge investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer helpful insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the problems, 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 have a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the contract 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 employed to avoid pricey future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may want to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that might be detected by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
