When a structural pest control company is hired, it is accountable to both the buyer and seller, regardless of who pays for the inspection. It is required to furnish the person who ordered the inspection with a copy ofthe report within ten working days. Under Section1099 of the Civil Code, the seller usually delivers copies of the inspection reports to the buyer. Copies can also be obtained through escrow.
If there is any question about the report(s), the buyer should contact the company that made the inspection and/or performed the work. It is always advisable for buyers to order their own inspections.
