KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
The Value of Due Diligence in Commercial Real Estate
When people buy a new house, it’s a matter of the heart. Regardless of what other factors come into play, a person decides to buy a house because they love something about the home or the location. It’s an emotional decision. When someone buys commercial real estate, they’re making a business decision. Commercial real estate is an investment in which the biggest factor will always be the bottom line. It’s not enough to just look at the property as it is; buyers are also thinking about the costs of maintaining the property five or 10 years down the road. In commercial real estate, major systems like electrical and roofing take priority over any interior cosmetics. For this reason, commercial property inspections are very different than your average home inspection. Our team at Liberty Inspection Group regularly handles home inspections, but we are also equipped to lend our expertise to Realtors who deal with commercial properties. The types of structures we inspect include:
We are able to provide commercial property inspections, commercial building inspections, and property condition assessments (PCAs) in conformance with ASTM E-2018. PCAs — visual inspections with written and photographic documentation — are vital to establishing proper due diligence in real estate transactions. A prepurchase inspection provides peace of mind to investors, owners, lenders, attorneys, and property managers, ensuring everyone involved is well-informed about the state of the property. The scope and limitations of our inspections can be tailored to meet the needs of any commercial real estate transaction. After a visual inspection of the property, we can identify liabilities, provide cost estimates, and offer recommendations for maintenance, repair, and component replacement. With this vital information, commercial clients are able to make appropriate and informed decisions about their investment. Property inspections aren’t just from eager home buyers who want to make sure their dream home won’t turn into a waking nightmare. Commercial property inspections empower buyers to avoid the money pit and move forward with confidence.
