Insurance companies are increasingly aware of the potential subsidence risk posed to low rise buildings by trees and will often request an assessment of this risk before deciding whether to insure the building. This crops up most frequently when a house is being purchased and a mortgage request is being considered after a building surveyor has raised a concern over the proximity of a tree.

 

Trees near buildings can cause concern
to insurance companies and
mortgage providers

Mark Carter is formally qualified to produce a rapid preliminary report using the nationally licensed AMIUG methodology to assess the risk of direct and indirect (subsidence) damage to buildings posed by trees which will invariably answer the questions posed by the insurance company. If however, the tree / building / soil inter-relationship is too complex to assess in a preliminary report then a more in- depth investigation will be recommended.
