A seller failed to disclose to a buyer that his house had had evidence of termite infestation three years prior to the sale. The seller had had the property treated and had a certificate from the termite company that the property was clean and free of termites. Was there misrepresentation?


?The general rule is, "When in doubt, disclose." While the seller would no doubt have to have another inspection, the prior infestation, despite a clean bill of health, should have been disclosed.
