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 useful insight into whether the purchase is a good decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the negatives, but it will also point out the positives and any likely maintenance that may be vital in the future. After a meticulous inspection, you will have a stronger understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price or confident enough to move forward 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 taken to prevent pricey future repairs.
If you are selling your home, you may wish to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will expose areas of concern that may 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 advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
