Buying a residential home or commercial property is a substantial expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer some insight into whether the purchase is a wise choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the negatives, but it will also bring to light the positives and any potential maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a intensive inspection, you will have a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price or confident enough to move forward 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 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 discovered by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
