This termite inspection letter is valid for approximately 30 days! Please schedule the inspection only when you are certain, your loan is approved and we are moving forward. If you get this letter too early, it will expire and you WILL be required to schedule and pay for another inspection. If you are unsure about the timeline, just ask me. I can schedule the appointment for you and be at the house while this inspector is there. (I’ll need to have your payment in advance.)
