A termite letter states that there is no active infestation on the house in question, though there could have been previous infestation. With Georgia's warm, humid climate, termites are a common problem. Previous termite infestation should not in itself rule out purchasing a home, but careful consideration and inspection should take place before you purchase. You should ask your home inspector to inspect for damage relating to termites as well. In the past, the seller was responsible for repairing termite damage.
Termite damage needs to be taken care of as part of the general home inspection process.
