What are the advantages of a home inspection?

Purchasing a property represents a considerable amount of money, so the inspection allows you to make this purchase with full knowledge of the facts. This important stage of the purchase process requires a moment of reflection. You are about to make one of the biggest purchases of your life, would you be ready to do it with your eyes closed? The primary advantage of the pre-purchase inspection is to allow you to have a good understanding of the residence and to avoid unpleasant future surprises.

If you already own a home, a home inspection can be helpful in determining construction issues and learning about preventative measures to avoid future costly repairs. If you are planning to sell your home, you may want to have it inspected before putting it on the market. This will give you a better understanding of its condition before it is likely discovered by the buyer's inspector. This will give you the opportunity to make repairs that will put your home in more sellable condition.
