Know the trees before you buy.

Due diligence on trees, heritage overlays and removal constraints.

Pre-Purchase Tree Inspection

A pre-purchase tree inspection is due diligence on the trees that come with a property: condition, heritage overlays, vegetation protection, and whether they can be removed or must be designed around. You get the answer before settlement, while you can still walk away or renegotiate.

A block can look buildable and still be unbuildable as drawn. Protected trees, overlays and council removal rules turn a knockdown-rebuild or subdivision into a constrained, delayed, or abandoned project. Knowing that before you buy is cheaper than discovering it after.

Inspecting a tree beside a house — What the tree means for the purchase — measured on site.

You'll get

✓ Condition of the trees on the block
✓ Overlays and likely removal rules
✓ What that means for a knockdown, extension or subdivision
✓ A note you can take to your solicitor before settlement

Who it's for

Buyers and investors weighing a knockdown-rebuild or subdivision — before the contract is unconditional.
