[QUOTE="NIT2WN, post: 6823706, member: 17820"] Long story dramatically shortened, we found a house we liked and we're in negotiations to buy. We agreed to a price and a closing date pending credit approval for me and a house inspection. The house was built in 2001, wood frame vinyl siding with block and mortar foundation. the inspector's report says the house has no termite shields[sheet metal pieces] installed anywhere under it. That didn't make me happy, but it also has termites in the house. The inspector believes there isn't much damage or at least not enough for repairs yet. He also said it should be inspected by a termite professional [Terminex] and see what they say. The house was supposedly treated and had a termite bond in the last month or so. My question is, at what point do we back out of the house? The seller is thinking he can get Terminex to treat it and bond it and all will be fine. I'm very leary of this and just about ready to dump it and run. I would be willing to buy it but I want a serious guarantee the house will be there in 30 years. So, sorry for the long post, but I need help and some professional guidance. Thanks for your replies and wisdom because I need all the help I can get. [/QUOTE]
