A tree survey in Lochee is required for three situations: a planning application affecting protected trees, a mortgage lender flagging trees on the property, or an insurer assessing subsidence risk.
Dundee City Council requires a BS5837 survey for planning applications affecting trees within the site or adjacent to it. A Tree Preservation Order legally prevents felling, topping, lopping or root damage without council consent.
A mortgage lender demands a tree report when a valuer flags trees near the property during survey. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept this report as standard. The lender withholds the mortgage offer without it.
Tree roots remove moisture from the ground close to foundations, causing the soil to shrink and structures to move. Insurers require a report identifying species, assessing root spread and setting management recommendations before confirming cover.
Three survey types are available in Lochee: Tree Condition Reports for general health assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and safety of individual trees on a property. Homeowners, landlords and property managers request one to manage risk and plan maintenance.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuer identifies trees close to a property during a mortgage application. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements before funds release.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into grades A to U, 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 scope, species identification, and condition assessment. The written report includes recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
