Tree Surveys for Homebuyers

Homebuyers are often asked by their potential mortgage lender for a tree survey. Surveyors are experts in their own field and are not keen to comment on trees and an assessment by a qualified Arboriculturalist may be requested if they believe that trees could be compromising the integrity of a building.

As Arboriculturalists we will visit the property being considered for a mortgage, consider the behaviour of the trees which can be seen on and off site, measure the distances those trees are from the property and consider other factors relating to the potential for the trees to cause harm to the property. 

Purchasing a house is a particularly stressful time for a buyer and being informed that yet another report is required adds to the stress and obviously the costs.  As members of the Mortgage Insurers Group since 1998 (Licence No. 0153), we seek to provide a mortgage report within 5 days from the instruction date.  As part of the service, we are more than happy to meet the prospective purchaser on site to discuss any potential tree maintenance/safety issues, at present and possibly in the future.  We will always be honest with the client, giving you our best possible advice.
