<p class=MsoNormal>We have a client who purchased a residence in Miami-Dade
County that is full of termite damage. Contractors have stated that the
prior owners went through great effort to conceal the termite damage, not to
mention lying on the seller’s disclosure. We are looking for
recommendations for an expert to opine as to the lengths taken by the prior
owners to conceal such damage, and whether such damage should have been
discovered by the home inspection that noted some small areas of damage.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
