Rachael hi!
Just because a
home has termites is not necessarily a
reason to run from buying the home. 1
out 3 homes will have termites at some
point in time.
You need to have a
reputable termite inspector inspect the
home to determine:
1. If the home is
currently infested, and if it is have a
professional treatment performed by a
reputable company. Most companies
provide a 5 year limited warranty.
2. If the home has
wood damage, and how extensive it is.
Depending on the
home determining how much damage is
there can be difficult if walls and
ceilings in the basement have finished
surfaces.
If they are
uncovered its fairly easy. Your
inspector can give you some idea but if
the subfloor and framing are covered it
would just be a best guess without
removing those surfaces. Hope this
helps.
Thanks Paul
