Does NCHFA require a termite report?
NCHFA requires a termite inspection on all existing construction properties. If the termite report indicates a present or past infestation, a structural inspection is required by a licensed contractor. A Soil Treatment Guarantee is required on new construction. The one exception is for condominiums, where no termite report is required. Moisture is also a potential problem. If the termite inspector indicates the moisture content is above 18%, then corrective measures must be performed to lower or eliminate the moisture source. Usually a vapor barrier is installed.
