Ultimate Guide to VA Loan Termite Inspections

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The VA has specific Minimum Property Requirements (MPR) to ensure homes purchased with VA loans are structurally sound and safe.
• One significant VA requirement is the termite inspection to address potential damages these pests may cause.
• Not all VA loans require a termite inspection; they’re typically only mandated in regions with a high probability of infestation.
• If a home fails the termite inspection, the seller must treat the infestation and repair any damages before the VA will consider approving the loan.
