Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a big investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer valuable insight into whether the purchase is a smart 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 required in the future. After a thorough inspection, you will have a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price or confident enough to continue with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be utilized to spot problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to avoid costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that might be found by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine 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.
