Mortgage & Insurance Tree Reports

Trees can cause direct damage to structures through the movement and growth of roots, stems and canopies. Indirect damage can be caused, particularly on clay soils, by tree roots drawing moisture from the soil causing it to shrink, which can result in the movement of structural foundations.

Where there are significant trees or vegetation within potential influencing distance of a property, mortgage and insurance companies will require specialist arboricultural advice relating to the potential for damage to the property’s structures. We have assisted many clients in a successful house purchase or insurance renewal.
