Tree Surveys For Insurance & Mortgages.
Property insurers frequently require a tree survey or risk assessment before providing building insurance.
The aim is to provide a general opinion of the health and safety of a tree and how it impacts the property.
It would indentify defects in the tree including dead or failing branches, decay and fungal bodies, poor branch and union structure.

If the tree is located in an area where the public have access perhaps a commercial property, or even a property that has footpaths running through the land, tree surveys are vital to assess and be able to manage the risk, showing due diligence.
