Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a big expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer valuable insight into whether the purchase is a sensible choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the problems, but it will also reveal the positives and any potential maintenance that may be necessary in the future. After a complete inspection, you will gain a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the sale or confident enough to continue 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 avoid 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 uncover areas of concern that might be exposed by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to make the repairs beforehand or to disclose the data to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
