Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a substantial expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer beneficial insight into whether the purchase is a sensible decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the problems, but it will also reveal the positives and any likely maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a detailed inspection, you will posses 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 employed to prevent costly 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 reveal areas of concern that might be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
