Tree Survey Services We Cover

Enviro Trees UK provides qualified tree surveys across every part of County Durham, delivered by local arborists who know the area.

The two surveys we handle most often:

  • Mortgage tree surveys - required by lenders when trees sit close to a property you're buying or remortgaging. Learn more →
  • Tree risk assessments - for homeowners and landlords who need to confirm trees on their land are safe and meet duty-of-care obligations. Learn more →

Both reports are accepted by all major UK mortgage lenders and insurers, including Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC.

Common Trees That Trigger Mortgage Concerns

Some tree species are more likely to cause lenders to request a survey, particularly on properties built on clay soils where root activity can lead to subsidence. The species most commonly flagged include:

  • Oak - deep, wide-spreading root systems with high water demand.
  • Willow - aggressive moisture-seeking roots, often close to drains.
  • Poplar - fast-growing with extensive lateral root spread.
  • Ash - moderate root influence, plus dieback concerns affecting structural integrity.
  • Sycamore - large mature spread and significant soil moisture uptake.

If any of these are within falling distance of your property, or close enough for roots to reach the foundations, your lender may ask for an arboricultural report before completing.

Why It Matters

The Cost of Not Having A Tree Survey

A formal tree condition record is the simplest piece of evidence that you have met your duty of care. The consequences of not having one go beyond a fallen branch.

UK Deaths & Injuries Each Year

Around six people are killed and roughly 55 seriously injured every year in the UK by falling trees and branches. The vast majority of incidents are preventable with proactive inspection.

Criminal Liability

Businesses and landlords can face proceedings under the Health & Safety at Work Act if a tree on their land injures someone and no inspection regime is in place. Substantial fines have been imposed in past cases.

Insurance Claims Refused

Damage caused by a poorly maintained tree can be excluded from buildings and public liability policies, leaving owners exposed to repair and legal costs.

Duty of Care

UK property owners owe a duty of care to keep trees on their land in a state that does not pose a foreseeable danger. A documented assessment is the simplest evidence the duty has been met.

Council Compliance

Some local authorities require regular tree inspection records for properties they manage or oversee. Non-compliance can result in enforcement action.

Cost of Reaction

Emergency tree work after a partial failure is materially more expensive than the planned remedial work a routine inspection identifies. Regular assessment saves money in the long run.
