6th November 2018Mortgage tree survey and reports for home-buyers.
Trees provide significant benefits to property owners. Not only can they make a property more attractive, but studies have shown that nearby trees can increase property prices by up to 11%. However, if trees are highlighted as a potential problem when buying a new property, then there is a danger they can become a time-consuming, stressful and expensive hassle for the buyer.
In a recent poll, two thirds of people voted moving-house top of their stress list, so the last thing needed is nearby trees triggering more anxiety! While moving home can undoubtedly become a stressful experience, if trees near to the property become an issue for you, your building surveyor or your mortgage lender, then AWA Tree Consultants can quickly provide you with a mortgage tree survey and report to ensure they aren’t a cause for additional delays or stress.
Often a RICS Home Buyers Report, Building Survey or a Mortgage Valuation will highlight trees that are near to the property that could be an issue to the integrity of the property. As these reports are not undertaken by arboriculturists, the surveyors must recommend that other specialists are called in to do this. Tree surveys for mortgages are a job for experts, as there are lots of potential issues that are hidden to the untrained eye. When choosing which arboricultural consultants to use, always check they’re registered with the Institute of Chartered Foresters (ICF); the UK’s Chartered professional body offering the Chartered Arboriculturist title. All tree consultants listed have passed rigorous professional exams and hold of a minimum level of professional indemnity insurance required for mortgage tree survey and reports for home-buyers.
If you instruct AWA Tree Consultants to complete your tree report for mortgage purposes, you can rest assured of a thorough investigation of the trees in relation to the property. Our professional tree surveys from qualified and registered tree consultants minimise exposure to the risk of tree-related damage. We also offer you expert honest advice to ensure that current and future issues with trees are clearly identified and effective, cost-effective management is recommended. You can be sure that the conditions of the mortgage lenders will be fully met and you can rest easy knowing your new home will not face future problems from trees.
