A tree survey in West End is required for planning applications near protected trees, when a mortgage lender flags trees on site, or when insurers assess subsidence risk from tree roots.
City of Edinburgh requires a BS5837 survey for planning applications where trees stand within the site or on adjacent land. A Tree Preservation Order prohibits felling, topping or root damage to a protected tree without council consent.
A mortgage lender flags a property when trees stand within influencing distance of the foundations. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC require a tree report before releasing funds. Without one, the lender withholds the mortgage offer.
Subsidence risk arises when tree roots draw moisture from the soil, causing it to shrink and the foundation to move. Insurers require evidence of this risk before confirming cover. The report identifies species, assesses root spread and gives management recommendations.
West End offers three tree survey types: Tree Condition Reports for general property assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and stability of trees on a property. Homeowners, landlords and insurers request one to establish risk before repair, sale or renewal decisions.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender identifies trees close to a property during valuation. The report satisfies the requirements of major UK mortgage lenders before completion.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site by quality and value, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. City of Edinburgh 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, condition assessment and a written report with recommendations and photographs. The report is delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in West End takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report, with 1 to 3 hours spent on site. A 48-hour urgent option covers mortgage deadlines.
