What is a Pre-Purchase Tree Assessment?

Pre-purchase tree assessments are an essential service for home buyers who want to ensure the trees on the property are healthy and as safe as practicably possible. We provide thorough and comprehensive assessments to give you peace of mind when making your purchase decision.

Our pre-purchase tree assessments include:

  1. Tree Health Check: We will assess the health of each tree on the property to determine if there are any signs of disease, pests, or structural defects.

  2. Tree Safety Check: We will evaluate the trees on the property to identify any safety hazards that could pose a risk to people or property. This includes checking for signs of decay, weak or dead branches, and unstable trees.

  3. Tree Preservation Check: We will assess the trees on the property to determine their importance and value, and advise on any potential impacts that the property development may have on them.

A pre-purchase tree assessment is an important tool for homebuyers who want to make informed decisions about the property they are considering purchasing.

  • A pre-purchase tree assessment is a detailed evaluation of the trees on a property. It can identify any potential issues or risks associated with the trees, such as disease, decay, structural problems, or proximity to buildings or power lines.

  • The assessment can help homebuyers make decisions about the property, such as negotiating the sale price or requesting that the seller address any identified tree issues before the sale is completed.

  • The assessment is typically conducted by a qualified tree consultant. We inspect the trees on the property and produce a report outlining their findings and any recommended actions.

  • Our reports will typically include information on each tree's species, size, condition, and location, as well as any obvious hazards associated with the tree. The report may also include recommendations for maintenance or management of the trees on the property.

  • The cost of a pre-purchase tree assessment can vary depending on the size of the property and the number of trees that need to be assessed. However, it is generally a small investment compared to the cost of dealing with tree-related issues after the sale has been completed.

  • In addition to providing valuable information for homebuyers, a pre-purchase tree assessment can also be beneficial for sellers. By identifying any tree issues before the property is listed for sale, sellers can take steps to address the issues and potentially increase the sale price of the property.

  • It's important to note that a pre-purchase tree assessment is not a standard part of a home inspection. Homebuyers will need to specifically request this service and engage the services of a qualified tree consultant or arborist to conduct the assessment.
