Termite inspections for home purchases
Ehrlich Pest Control does provide customers with professional termite and wood-destroying organism inspections for real estate purchases and refinancing. In addition to termites, Ehrlich Technicians are trained to inspect for evidence of other wood destroying organisms such as carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and wood-boring beetles.
When going through the home-buying process, a mortgage lender can require a termite inspection for loan approval. The Veterans Administration (VA) requires a wood-destroying organism inspection for more than 30 states in the U.S. before they will close a loan. According to the Federal House Administration (FHA), a termite inspection is required to ensure the home is free from termites and other wood-destroying pests before the FHA will approve the loan.
An Ehrlich Technician conducting a real estate inspection will provide the necessary written documentation needed in the presence or absence of wood-destroying organism activity. No matter who you are getting your loan from, it is important that you contact your local office to discuss your options.
