Enviro Trees UK provides qualified tree surveys across every part of Shetland, delivered by local arborists who know the area.
The two surveys we handle most often:
Both reports are accepted by all major UK mortgage lenders and insurers, including Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC.
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:
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.
Trees near homes across Shetland can hold up a mortgage offer, raise insurance questions, or pose a real safety risk after storms. A professional tree survey settles these questions quickly and gives you a document you can hand straight to your lender, insurer or solicitor.
Our service is built around three things:
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.
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.
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.
Damage caused by a poorly maintained tree can be excluded from buildings and public liability policies, leaving owners exposed to repair and legal costs.
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.
Some local authorities require regular tree inspection records for properties they manage or oversee. Non-compliance can result in enforcement action.
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.
