As part of your offer, you may require a termite and
pest inspection. This company not only inspects for
termite damage and pest infestations, but also
inspects for dry rot and water damage, among other
things. The company that performs the inspection is
important to you as a buyer, because you want to be
sure they do a good job. It is important to the
seller because it is customary that they pay for the
inspection and some types of repairs that may be
required.
You
should determine which company you want to perform
this inspection and make it a part of your offer.
Otherwise the seller will choose. If you do not know
which company to hire, your agent will make a
recommendation.
