Dundee properties in the DD1 postcode district fall under Dundee City Council planning jurisdiction, where tree surveys support development and lender decisions. Trees near boundaries and building lines raise structural and legal considerations that a survey addresses directly.
All surveys are completed by qualified arboricultural consultants with professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

A tree survey in Dundee is required for planning applications near protected trees, for mortgage lenders flagging trees on a property, and for insurance policies addressing subsidence risk.
Dundee City Council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application affects trees on or near the development site. A Tree Preservation Order legally prevents felling, pruning or root damage to a protected tree without council consent, and breaching the order carries criminal liability.
A mortgage lender demands a tree report when trees stand within influencing distance of the property being purchased. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC require this evidence before releasing funds. Without it, the lender withholds the mortgage offer until the report satisfies their surveyor.
Tree roots draw moisture from soil near foundations. The ground shrinks and the structure moves. Insurers class this movement as subsidence risk. The report identifies species, assesses root spread and states management recommendations for the insurer.
Tree surveys in Dundee include three types: Tree Condition Reports for general risk assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and risk of individual trees on a property. Homeowners, landlords and property managers request this report to identify hazards and inform maintenance decisions.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuation flags trees near the property during a purchase or remortgage. This report satisfies the tree-related conditions set by major UK mortgage lenders 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. 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 the survey scope, species identification, and a condition assessment of each tree. The written report includes recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Dundee takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report delivery. The site visit lasts 1 to 3 hours, and a 48-hour urgent option covers mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Dundee depends on the survey type, the number of trees and the size of the site. The quote is fixed before the site 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 every tree survey, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Reports are written to BS5837:2012 and accepted by Dundee City Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
Tree surveys extend across Dundee and the surrounding county, including Hilltown:
