Pre-purchase Tree Survey and Report
A Pre-Purchase Tree Survey and Report is often requested by mortgage lenders or insurers before completing a property purchase. These organisations require assurance that any trees within or near the potential property will not pose a risk to the building's structure or endanger the safety of occupants or visitors.

Pre-Purchase Tree Survey and Report
If you are considering buying a property with trees, we strongly recommend commissioning a pre-purchase tree survey. Many mortgage lenders and insurers require this type of survey, often referred to as a Home Buyers Tree Report, before approving a loan or policy.
Our pre-purchase tree survey and report thoroughly assesses the following:
-
Potential risks of tree failure causing harm to people or property.
-
Direct damage caused by roots or overhanging branches.
-
Vegetation-related subsidence, particularly on clay soils.
-
Evaluation of tree hazards.
-
Restrictions due to Conservation Areas or Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs).
-
Structural damage caused by climbing plants.
Mortgage providers often require that a pre-purchase tree survey is conducted by a qualified arboricultural consultant.
At Ascent Arboriculture, our reports are specifically tailored to meet the needs of both lenders and buyers. We provide clear recommendations to address any concerns, helping to ensure a smooth and efficient house-buying process.
