A tree survey in Charleston becomes necessary for three reasons: a planning application near protected trees, a mortgage lender flagging trees on site, and insurance concerns over subsidence risk.
Dundee City Council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application sits near a tree protected by a Tree Preservation Order. A TPO makes it a criminal offence to fell, prune or damage the tree without the council's written consent.
A mortgage lender requires a tree report when a valuation surveyor flags trees within influencing distance of the property. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC all request this evidence before releasing funds, and withhold the mortgage offer without it.
Tree roots draw moisture from the soil, causing the ground to shrink and the foundations to move. An insurer requires a report identifying species, assessing root spread and setting management recommendations before confirming cover or settling a subsidence claim.
Charleston offers three survey types: a Tree Condition Report for private tree management, a Mortgage Tree Report for lenders, and a BS5837 survey for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and safety of a tree, identifying disease, decay or storm damage. Homeowners, landlords and insurers request this report to plan maintenance or resolve a dispute.
A Mortgage Tree Report becomes required when a lender's valuation surveyor identifies a tree close enough to a property to affect its structure. The report satisfies the requirements of major UK mortgage lenders before completion.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into one of four grades, sets a root protection area for each, and produces a tree constraints plan. Dundee City Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree within scope, species identification, and a condition assessment. The written report follows with recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Charleston takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report, with the site visit lasting 1 to 3 hours. A 48-hour urgent option covers mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Charleston depends on the survey type, the number of trees and the size of the site. The quote is fixed before the visit takes place.
The fixed price covers the site visit, the full written report, and follow-up questions at no extra cost.
Consultants qualified in arboriculture carry out the survey, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Reports are written to BS5837:2012 and accepted by Dundee City Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
