Commercial Property Inspections
Whether you are a commercial landlord, tenant, or prospective buyer, it is essential to understand the importance of a commercial property inspection. A pre-lease or pre-purchase inspection can help protect both parties from unforeseen expenses and damages. Let’s explore why it is essential to inspect a commercial property before signing any rental agreement or sale contract.
​
What Does a Commercial Property Inspection Include?
A comprehensive commercial property inspection includes a visual survey of the interior and exterior of the building and grounds. It generally includes an assessment of the general condition of each system in the building (i.e., HVAC, plumbing, etc.) and its components as well as any potential safety hazards that may exist. The inspector will look for signs of structural damage such as cracks in walls or ceilings, water damage, mold growth, pest infestations, faulty electrical systems, and more.

The Benefits Of Commercial Property Inspection
An inspection can identify potential problems before they become costly issues down the road. Knowing what needs to be fixed ahead of time can save you from unexpected repair costs later on. Additionally, if your business operates out of multiple locations then having regular inspections can help ensure that all locations meet safety requirements. Furthermore, it will also help keep tenants safe by alerting them to potential hazards before they move into the space. Finally, an inspection report provides valuable documentation that can be used to negotiate rental rates or purchase prices for a property.
