Tree surgeons in Nottingham: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners

If you own the property, tree care is your responsibility. But before you fire up the chainsaw, check:

• Is the tree protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO)?
• Is your home in a conservation area?
• Are there landscaping conditions on your deeds?

If so, you’ll need council approval. Cutting a protected tree without permission can lead to hefty fines, so it’s worth checking first.

Renters

If there’s an issue with a tree - overhanging branches, storm damage, or signs of rot - speak to your landlord or letting agent. In flats or shared buildings, your property manager or housing association should handle it.

Landlords

You're responsible for keeping trees on your property safe. That means dealing with deadwood, overgrowth, or anything that might fall and cause damage. Keep up with local tree laws, and hire qualified tree surgeons to avoid liability issues.
