What is a Mortgage Tree Report?
A Mortgage Tree Report, also known as a Pre-purchase Tree Survey, is a vital document requested by mortgage lenders and insurers to assess the potential risks posed by trees near a property. These reports go beyond simply documenting the trees present; they provide a detailed analysis of their potential impact on the property and its surroundings.
Why Do I Need a Mortgage Tree Report?
When trees are located near a property, they can pose a variety of risks that could impact its safety, structure, and value. Mortgage lenders often require a Mortgage Tree Report to address these concerns before approving a loan. By obtaining a professional report, you can identify potential risks such as root damage to foundations, overhanging branches that threaten roofs or driveways, and trees that may be subject to legal restrictions like Tree Preservation Orders or Conservation Area constraints.
A Mortgage Tree Report not only helps you meet lender requirements but also ensures you’re making a well-informed decision about your property. By addressing tree-related risks early, you can avoid unexpected costs and legal complications, making the property purchase process smoother and more secure.

What our customers say
What Do Our Mortgage Reports Identify?
- Soil type: We will use local geological data to determine the soil type on which your property is built and associate this with the likelihood of subsidence.
- Structural Damage Caused by Roots: Trees with invasive root systems can damage foundations, driveways, and underground utilities, leading to costly repairs if not managed effectively.
- Risks of Falling Branches or Tree Failure: Diseased or structurally compromised trees pose a safety hazard, particularly during storms or high winds.
- Constraints Due to Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or Conservation Areas: Some trees may be protected by local regulations, limiting the options for removal or modification. Understanding these constraints early can prevent unexpected legal or financial challenges.
In addition to identifying risks, our reports offer tailored recommendations for mitigation and management, ensuring that trees enhance rather than hinder your property’s value and safety. By addressing these concerns, our reports not only help secure mortgage approval but also provide long-term confidence in your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mortgage Tree Reports
How long does it take to complete a Mortgage Tree Report from the initial consultation to the final report delivery?
The duration from the initial consultation to the delivery of a Mortgage Tree Report varies but typically takes a few days to a week, depending on the complexity of the assessment and the scheduling availability of our arborists.
Are there different levels or types of Mortgage Tree Reports offered depending on the size of the property or the complexity of the tree situation?
Yes, we offer different levels of Mortgage Tree Reports tailored to the specific needs of the property. These vary from basic reports for smaller properties with fewer trees to more detailed assessments for larger properties or those with complex tree populations.
How frequently should a homeowner update their Mortgage Tree Report, or is it a one-time requirement during the mortgage approval process?
A Mortgage Tree Report is generally a one-time requirement during the mortgage approval process; however, it is advisable to update the report if significant changes in the property’s tree population occur or if major environmental events might have affected the trees’ health.
What are the typical costs involved in obtaining a Mortgage Tree Report, and does this cost vary significantly between smaller urban properties and larger rural ones?
The cost of a Mortgage Tree Report can vary based on the property size and the number of trees. Typically, reports for smaller urban properties cost less than those for larger rural properties due to the lesser complexity and the time required for assessment.
Do you work in both Hertfordshire and Devon?
