Buying a house with termite damage
Hello,
Is it usually possible to get an accurate estimate of the cost of repairing termite damage? I am asking, because I am considering buying a house with a certain amount of termite damage. However, I fail to see how a home inspector can really know what the costs will be to repair said damage. He doesn't have x-ray vision ... how can anyone really know what it will cost once the termites start chewing up the wood? I am talking about complete repair costs (frame work, drywall work, flooring, etc). Any help on this would be appreciated. I'm also wondering if there is some sort of a "checklist" out there for what home buyers should know with regard to termites, termite damage, and preventative termite protection when looking at a home for sale. TIA |
