Hi just wondering, does new Zealand have termites?
http://www.kiwicare.co.nz/help/problem/?sid=termites Not many by nature, but people have to keep an eye open for foreign species accidentally imported.
Thanks jandm. The reason why I asked about it cause its common in Australia to have termites inspection before buying a house. So im thinking its not common to have a termites inspecter in new Zealand before buying a house?
It's up to the purchaser - it would be part of the 'due diligence', which, being translated, means covering your own...! As it says here http://content.harcourts.co.nz/conte...our-first-home, an offer can be made subject to the result of whatever surveys you want to have done.
I would say ants (those tiny ones) are more of a concern than termites in NZ.
