Are you looking to purchase a property for your business or as an investor? Are you part of a larger company looking to setup operations in a new location?
One of the most important long-term decisions you make could be choosing a commercial property. This can include everything from office buildings to medical centers, hotels, malls, retail stores, restaurants, farmland, multi-family housing buildings, warehouses and/or garages.
Any building is a rather complex “machine”. It has many subsystems and interlocking parts, all working together as part of one larger system. When you purchase any non-residential property, you need to be sure all those parts are working properly, and not on the verge of failure, dysfunctional or improperly installed.
To save yourself time and money, it’s important to protect yourself from defects and/or problems that may not be obvious to you or your realtor. To accomplish this, you need to invest in a pre-purchase property condition assessment (PCA) of the building.
Duxbury & Associates will go through your commercial building from top to bottom, inside and outside, and identify potential problems you should know about before you complete the purchase.
A commercial inspection often includes (but is not limited to):
Roof- Exterior/Building envelope
- Decks and balconies
- Basement, foundation and crawl space
- Heating and ventilation
- Cooling
- Plumbing
- Electrical
- Fireplaces
- Attic ventilation and insulation
- Doors, windows and full interior
- Much more!
If you’re thinking of purchasing or leasing a commercial property for any reason, a PCA will help give you peace of mind for such an important decision, just as would be the case with buying a home.
