Are you buying or selling a home or business property? If so, then you need to have a clear understanding of what a Termite Clearance Letter is.
What is a Termite Clearance Letter?
Just as its name implies, a Termite Clearance Letter is provided by a licensed pest control service after a home inspection. The letter certifies where or not there is a current termite infestation, and it states whether or not a home or business shows signs of damage from a previous termite infestation.
Why do you need a Termite Clearance Letter?
A Termite Clearance Letter is often required as part of the closing of a home or business property. Depending on the contract, the responsibility of obtaining a Termite Clearance Letter may fall to either the buyer or seller. Regardless of which party is responsible for obtaining the letter, a Termite Clearance Letter is the only way for a prospective buyer to be sure whether or not a property shows signs of termite infestation. Once a Termite Clearance Letter is obtained, if termite treatments or termite repairs are necessary, the contract will state which party is responsible to paying for and scheduling them.
Basically, a Termite Clearance Letter is required to protect home buyers from buying a home or business filled with termites.
