Question to all RE professionals, I'm selling my investment property in Philadelphia, PA and Buyer elected Wood Infestation Inspection and inspector found termites in a property, but report has no photos just a schematic drawing so Buyer and his agent pushing me to pay $1050 for termite treatment. Do I have to pay for it as a Seller?
Thanks

As Herb and Eunice said, you do not HAVE to pay. It depends on how badly you want to sell the house. Understand that the buyer might walk away if you don't get it corrected.

What you CANNOT do is turn around and sell the house to the next interested buyer without disclosing the termite infestation. Here in AZ and many other states, sellers are required to disclose any known history of termites. I would assume PA has similar laws. Now that you know about the problem, you can't just brush it under the rug.
