Termite damage during inspection
Hi, I am purchasing my first 3 family which I plan to owner occupy. The inspector found previous termite damage at the base of one of the exterior support columns. I do not know how much this will be to fix or how much of a problem it is. I am wondering if I should request a decrease in price or something because of this issue or a seller's credit to repair it? I am attaching pics of the damage and of the exterior of the house. The damage is at the base of the middle column. Is this not a big deal or should I try to get my agent to ask for something? House is about 130 years old, if that makes a difference. Thanks!
