Ignorance should be no excuse 
I vote for compulsory annual arborist inspections for all properties surrounded by trees if they wish to maintain their cover.  |
Hear yee, hear yee...
My sentiments exactly.
Responsible tree ownership is what it's all about. The policy should have question like ....
.... Are there any trees greater than 5m in height within striking distance of your home, if so provide an arborists condition report.
Now if that big azzed tree is in your neighbours yard then he should already have a report for it, if not you need to arrange for one. Too often the neighbour doesn't give a shit and the victims have to claim on their own insurance.
