A tree survey in Caterham is required for three situations: planning applications near protected trees, mortgage lenders flagging trees on site, and insurance assessment of subsidence risk.
Tandridge Council requires a BS5837 survey for planning applications affecting trees on or near the development site. A Tree Preservation Order legally prevents felling, pruning or root damage without council consent.
Mortgage lenders require a tree report when trees stand within influencing distance of the property. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept these reports, and without one the lender withholds funds.
Tree roots draw moisture from the soil, causing it to shrink and the foundation to move. Insurers require a report identifying species, root spread and management recommendations before confirming cover.
Three survey types are available in Caterham: Tree Condition Reports for general tree health assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and stability of a tree or group of trees. Homeowners, insurers and local authorities request these reports to check for disease, decay or risk of failure.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender flags trees near the property during a mortgage application. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements for approving the loan.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into one of four grades, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Tandridge Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree in scope, species identification, condition assessment and a written report with recommendations and photographs. The report arrives within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Caterham takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report delivery. The site visit lasts 1 to 3 hours. A 48-hour urgent option covers mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Caterham 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 the survey, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Reports are written to BS5837:2012 and accepted by Tandridge Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
