Buying a residential home or commercial property is a sizable investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you buy can offer valuable insight into whether the purchase is a sensible decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the negatives, but it will also point out the positives and any potential maintenance that may be required in the future. After a thorough inspection, you will gain 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 used to identify 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 reveal areas of concern that might be detected by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to perform the repairs beforehand or to disclose the problem areas to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
