Buying a residential home or commercial property is a sizable expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer helpful insight into whether the purchase is a sensible decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the problems, but it will also reveal the positives and any likely maintenance that may be needed in the future. After a intensive inspection, you will have a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the sale 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 considering selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that might be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to perform the repairs in advance or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
