Structural Pest Control Report (SPC)
In the state of California Termite Inspections are not typically not required to close on the buying or selling of a property.
However, there are several exceptions:
There is an active termite infestation on the property.
It is required by the state or law.
It’s being called for by the lender involved. (Most all VA loans require a SPC)
Termite Reports are custom in the surrounding area.
Home buyers always have the option to include a termite inspection contingency in their purchase agreement. It can be asked that it be paid for by the seller, or the buyer can pay for it on their own.
Can you order a Termite Inspection yourself?
If you notice any termite evidence at any time during the buying process it is recommend that you order a Termite Inspection to be completed. When looking into buying an older property, especially ones made mostly of wood, it would be in your favor to have one done, for added peace of mind if nothing else. Going in blindly without a termite inspection could call for added cost of treatment, and repairs later down the line. If there is a termite inspection preformed before closing on a property, as the buyer you will have the opportunity to ask for some needed credits if there is an active infestation present, or ask the seller to have it taken care of before closing. Another thing Black Knight offers is, if you have had a termite inspection done by a different pest control company during escrow and you would like a second opinion, Black Knight will provide one free of cost. The only thing that is needed is the original report done by the previous company.
