Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a very large expenditure. And, knowing the condition of the property prior to closing can offer beneficial insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only exposes the issues, but it will also point out the positives and any potential maintenance that may be required in the future. After a complete inspection, you will have a deeper 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 employed to avoid pricey future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may want to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will uncover 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 data to a potential buyer giving you an advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
