| Hey guys,
I'm in the process of buying a home This house was built around 1990 well, the termite inspector found signs of termites in the garage area. Is this really bad? should i still get this house? I'm really concern about this issue, everything else is fine with the house. Please send any advice. Thanks in advance!!! |

| Well, in these parts that's not unusual. It could involve major damage or it could be just a little bit. Is it old damge or are the termites active? Are they drywood termites or subterranean? Where are you located? We would ask that the house/garage be treated (tenting is the common treatment here for drywood termites) and any termite damage be repaired. |
|
| I would do as Monablair suggested. I would not rule out a property for minor damage, but I would not buy the property unless the current owner is willing to do the treatment and repair. |

| Try looking at the FAQ on this site: www.cardillolaw.com under the Services tab and in the Sellers of Termite Damaged Property. This guy is a termite lawyer and you can also email him. |
