Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a substantial expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer important insight into whether the purchase is a smart decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the problems, but it will also reveal the positives and any potential maintenance that may be required in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will posses a stronger 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 employed to avoid 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 may be found by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to perform the repairs beforehand or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
