Buying a residential home or commercial property is a substantial expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer valuable insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the problems, but it will also bring to light the positives and any likely maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a thorough inspection, you will posses 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 employed to avoid pricey future repairs.
If you are considering selling your home, you may want to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that may be found by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to perform the repairs beforehand or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
