A tree survey in Reigate is required for three situations: a planning application affecting a protected tree, a mortgage lender requesting a report, or an insurer investigating subsidence risk near trees.
Reigate and Banstead Council requires a BS5837 survey for planning applications on sites with trees near the proposed development. A Tree Preservation Order legally prevents felling, topping, lopping or wilful damage to a protected tree without council consent.
A mortgage lender requests a tree report when a valuation flags trees within influencing distance of the property. Without the report, the lender withholds funds until the risk is assessed. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept these reports as a condition of the mortgage offer.
Tree roots draw moisture from the soil, causing the ground to shrink and the foundation to move. Insurers require an assessment before renewing cover on an affected property. The report identifies species, assesses root spread and sets management recommendations to reduce the risk.
Three types of tree survey are available in Reigate: a Tree Condition Report for general risk assessment, a Mortgage Tree Report for lender requirements, and a BS5837 survey for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and safety of a tree independent of any planning or mortgage process. Property owners, landlords and managing agents request it to manage risk and liability.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a valuation surveyor flags trees close to a property during a house purchase. The report satisfies the tree-related conditions set by major UK mortgage lenders.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into one of four grades, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Reigate and Banstead 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 a condition assessment. The written report includes recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Reigate takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report delivery. The site visit lasts 1 to 3 hours. A 48-hour urgent option is available for mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Reigate 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 survey, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Reports are written to BS5837:2012 and accepted by Reigate and Banstead Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
