    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.
