Types of Tree Surveys and Tree Reports We Provide

Tree Survey Reports

A tree survey report provides an assessment of tree condition, structure and defects and potential risk. These reports are commonly required when trees may affect property, boundaries or development proposals.

Mortgage Tree Reports

We produce mortgage tree reports where lenders require confirmation that nearby trees do not present an unreasonable risk to buildings, boundaries, drains or services. Reports are written clearly so they can be understood by surveyors, lenders and insurers.

Insurance Tree Reports

If an insurer has raised concerns about trees near a property, we can provide an independent tree report for insurance purposes, assessing potential risk and offering professional recommendations.

Tree Risk Surveys

Our tree risk surveys focus on safety, identifying defects, decay indicators and structural concerns that could lead to failure. This is ideal where there is concern about stability or public safety.

A tree survey (also referred to as a tree risk survey, tree inspection report or  a tree health report) is carried out with the aim of identifying any problems with:

• tree health - does the tree have signs of decay or disease?
• tree growth - eg is it growing near to your property and causing a risk?
• does it pose a threat to public safety

A tree inspection will check the current condition of the tree and identify any potential tree issues that might arise in the near future.  

Our Tree Surveyor will provide a free no obligation quotation of the cost of compiling a tree survey and can explain the key factors that influence tree survey costs before you book.
