We purchased a brand new home in February of 2001. In October, we found live termites. When our bond holder came to inspect the area, he informed us that the house had been treated for a live infestation previously. We told him that he must be mistaken-that we purchased it new. new.
He sent us a copy of the treatment report. Our house was drilled and treated 7 days prior to our closing. The sad thing is that there is nothing we can do without paying out of pocket to have core samples done throughout the house to determine the extent of damage.
We do not want to pay thousands of dollars to have our house drilled and repaired. Therefore, we just want to make the public aware that home builders are not required to provide a Wood Destroying Organism report on a new home, but make sure that you ask for one. The law allows builders to blatantly lie to consumers and get away with it.
We do not understand how a law can exist that forbids a real estate company to sell a home with known termite infestation but seems to uphold a builder knowing and selling without even mentioning the same.

Important to have professional home inspections done prior to closing
AUTHOR: mmkbama - ()
SUBMITTED: Thursday, March 13, 2014
Issues like this are why it's important to have a professional home inspection done prior to closing on the home. Home inspections are the norm these days and Realtors even recommend and insist that the home should pass a home inspection prior to closing. Professional home inspectors always check for termite infestation or signs of any termite activity. It does sound very un-usual for a brand new home to have any termite infestation at all and I find that hard to believe. After a buyer puts an offer on a home and the offer is accepted the buyer has the right to hire a professional home inspector to inspect the home before closing to check for any construction issues or defects, this usually costs about $300.00 to $400.00 that the buyer is typically responsible for paying. If the inspector finds major defects the buyer can back out of the sale and earnest money is required to be returned (if any) however you will still have to eat the cost of the home inspection even if you back out of buying the home.
