For me it depends on who you used for the inspection. With 4 homes in TV since 2007, there are some inspectors that suggest some things, that others will not.
When we bought our 3rd home it was preowned. Wife died and spouse didn’t do any upkeep on the house for years.
Our mortgage company required active termite coverage. Daisy from Dean’s ($250) came to our home inspection, she didn’t detect any termites. However she did find a palm next door, not close to our property that had termites. We then proceeded with their service.
Once you see a fully tented home in TV, for termite’s make you ponder why they didn’t continue service.
We have Massey for first year, switching to Deans as soon as we are close to one year. Yes we will have termite coverage
