.............Mortgage Reports

Trees can substantially enhance the value of property and the most select residential areas are invariably well endowed with trees. By causing damage, trees can also have a negative effect on property value.

Direct contact between trees and buildings or other structures can result in costly damage. Trees might be unsafe, roots might lift paved surfaces or light structures, or root ingress might block drains. Abstraction of water by tree roots from shrinkable loadbearing soil can result in building subsidence. To minimise their exposure to financial loss when advancing loans or insuring buildings, mortgage lenders and insurers often require assessment of these risks.
