Buying a residential home or commercial property is a considerable investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer important insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the negatives, but it will also reveal the positives and any potential maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a intensive inspection, you will posses a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the contract or confident enough to move forward 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 employed 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 bring to light areas of concern that might be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to perform the repairs beforehand or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
