Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a considerable expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer important insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the negatives, but it will also bring to light the positives and any potential maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a comprehensive 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 used to identify problem areas and to learn what preventive measures can be employed to prevent costly future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will bring to light areas of concern that might be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to perform 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.
