Buying a residential home or commercial property is a substantial 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 choice.
A home inspection or property inspection not only uncovers the negatives, but it will also point out the positives and any potential maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a comprehensive inspection, you will gain a deeper understanding of the property and be better prepared to renegotiate the price or confident enough to continue 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 planning to sell your home, you may wish to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will reveal areas of concern that might be found by the buyer’s inspector. You may then choose whether to make 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.
