Buying a residential home or commercial property is a huge investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer worthwhile insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
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 required in the future. After a meticulous inspection, you will posses a stronger 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 used to find problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to avoid pricey future repairs.
If you are 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 identified 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.
