Buying a residential home or commercial property is a sizable investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer important insight into whether the purchase is a smart decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the issues, but it will also bring to light the positives and any likely maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a complete inspection, you will have a deeper 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 determine 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 before going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that may be found by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make 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.
