Purchasing a residential home or commercial property is a sizable investment. And, knowing the condition of the property before you commit to the purchase can offer helpful insight into whether the purchase is a wise decision.
A home inspection or property inspection not only highlights the negatives, but it will also bring to light the positives and any potential maintenance that may be desired in the future. After a complete 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 prevent pricey future repairs.
If you are planning to sell your home, you may want to have a home inspection before going to market. The inspection will uncover areas of concern that might be identified by the buyer’s inspector. You may then determine whether to perform the repairs beforehand or to disclose the findings to a potential buyer giving you an upper hand when negotiating and ensuring a smooth sale.
