If a lender, surveyor or solicitor has asked for a report on trees near a property, we can carry out the inspection and turn the report around quickly so your sale or mortgage stays on track.
Mortgage valuers often flag trees growing close to a building, particularly on shrinkable clay soils, because of the possible effect on foundations. Before they'll lend, they want a qualified opinion on the risk. A clear report usually resolves the matter and lets the transaction proceed.
A survey has noted a large tree near the property and your lender wants the risk assessed before completion.
Cracking has appeared, or an insurer or surveyor wants nearby trees assessed for their possible role.
A buyer's mortgage is held up over a tree, and you need a report to keep the sale moving.
A clear, written assessment of the trees in question, set out so a lender, surveyor or solicitor can act on it without further queries.
Request a reportA held-up mortgage is stressful and time matters. Tell us your deadline and we'll do our best to inspect promptly and get the report to you in good time.
Where a tree grows close to a building, a valuer may want reassurance that it isn't likely to affect the foundations, especially on clay soils that shrink and swell. A report from a qualified arboriculturist gives them that.
We understand these are usually urgent. Get in touch with your deadline and we'll arrange the inspection as quickly as we can and prioritise the write-up.
Reports are prepared by a qualified, insured arboriculturist and a professional member of the Arboricultural Association, set out clearly with photographs and conclusions. If your lender has specific requirements, let us know and we'll make sure they're addressed.
It depends on the property and number of trees involved. Tell us the situation and we'll give you a clear, fixed quote before any work begins.
