When considering a real estate purchase, sales price, financing and a host of other items come immediately into play. You can go back and forth on the sales price before coming to a final offer and the seller certainly wants to know if you're qualified for a mortgage. Before the wheels really begin to turn on a real estate transaction an inspection needs to occur. Some inspections are optional, yet recommended, for the buyer. However in many areas some inspections are required: pest inspections.
Whether or not your area requires pest inspections before a lender will place a loan, getting a pest inspection should be part of any real estate consideration. Inspections primarily focus on termites but can also look for evidence of carpenter ants or other wood destroying insect. A termite inspector will provide the report you need.
The termite inspector will look for evidence of current or previous infestation of wood destroying insects. The inspector will review both the interior and exterior of the home, looking for tell-tale signs of wood damaged by pests. When wood is damaged by termites or carpenter ants, the termite inspector can tell. Damaged wood can leave trails where insects have devoured their meal. Termites can leave trails and build mud tubes where they can travel. If there is evidence of termites, the home will have to be treated.

An outdoor water source such as draining from an air conditioning unit or คอนโดมือสอง a leaky faucet near the home can encourage termites. When exterior wood such as firewood or other wooden structures are attached or near the home, that too is a conducive condition. Even tree branches that touch the home are considered conducive. In these examples, by eliminating nearby sources of moisture and removing any wood on or near the home both you and your potential lender will sleep better at night. And you can help make sure your new home is not a new home for pests.
