Buying a residential home or commercial property is a sizable expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer some insight into whether the purchase is a good choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the negatives, but it will also reveal the positives and any potential 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 continue with the purchase.
If you are already a property owner, a home inspection can be utilized to identify problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be taken to prevent pricey future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that may be detected by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to perform the repairs in advance or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
