A tree survey in The Grange is required for planning applications near protected trees, when a mortgage lender flags trees on site, and when insurers assess subsidence risk from tree roots.
The City of Edinburgh council requires a BS5837 survey when development sits near a tree with a Tree Preservation Order. A TPO prevents felling, pruning or root disturbance without council consent.
A mortgage lender flags a tree survey when a tree stands within influence distance of a property's foundations. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC require the report before releasing funds. Without it, the lender withholds the mortgage offer.
Tree roots draw moisture from the soil, causing the ground to shrink and the foundations to subside. Insurers require species identification, root spread assessment and management recommendations before confirming cover.
The Grange offers three tree survey types: Tree Condition Reports for owners, Mortgage Tree Reports for lenders, and BS5837 surveys for planning.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and safety of individual trees on a property. Homeowners, landlords and tree owners request one to manage risk or plan maintenance work.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a property survey identifies trees close enough to affect a mortgage lender's risk assessment. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements before completion.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into one of four grades, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. City of Edinburgh requires this survey for planning applications near trees.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree within scope, species identification and condition assessment. The written report includes recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in The Grange takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report delivery. The site visit itself takes 1 to 3 hours, with a 48-hour urgent option available for mortgage deadlines.
