A tree survey in Maryfield becomes necessary for three reasons: a planning application affecting protected trees, a mortgage lender flagging trees on the property, or an insurer requiring assessment of subsidence risk.
Dundee City Council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application affects trees within the site or on neighbouring land. A Tree Preservation Order legally prevents felling, topping, lopping or root damage without council consent.
A mortgage lender requires a tree report when a valuation surveyor flags trees near the property during the mortgage valuation. Without a report, Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC withhold mortgage funds until the risk is assessed.
Tree roots draw moisture from the ground near foundations, causing subsidence in dry conditions. Insurers request assessment of this risk before renewing cover. The report includes species identification, root spread assessment and management recommendations.
Maryfield property owners choose between three survey types: 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, structural stability and safety of individual trees on a property. Homeowners, landlords and insurers request this report to identify hazards requiring management or removal.
A Mortgage Tree Report becomes required when a lender's valuation surveyor identifies trees close to the property during the mortgage process. The report satisfies the tree assessment requirements of major UK mortgage lenders.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into 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 scope, species identification and condition assessment. The written report follows, with recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
Booking to report takes 7 to 10 working days. The site visit lasts 1 to 3 hours, depending on the number of trees. A 48-hour urgent option covers mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Maryfield 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 afterwards. No additional charges apply once the quote is confirmed.
Consultants qualified in arboriculture carry out every survey, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Reports follow BS5837:2012 and are accepted by Dundee City Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
