You may need to know the value of woodland or standing timber for a variety of purposes: eg inheritance tax planning, insurance, investment portfolio review, compensation claims etc.

As Chartered Foresters we can apply appropriate valuation methods and intensity of survey (and therefore cost) to meet clients' needs.

In addition to conventional commercial valuation, we use the "Helliwell System" to value amenity of trees, woods and hedges.

For example, a client recently had a rural roadside ash tree damaged by a vehicle for which the driver's insurance company paid over £800.
