Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a substantial investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer valuable insight into whether the purchase is a smart choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the problems, but it will also point out the positives and any probable maintenance that may be required in the future. After a intensive 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 determine 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 want to have a home inspection prior to going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that may be found 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 advantage when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
