A tree survey in Sketty is required for three situations: a planning application near a protected tree, a mortgage lender flagging trees on site, or an insurer assessing subsidence risk.
A BS5837 survey is required by Swansea Council when a planning application involves trees within influencing distance of a development. A Tree Preservation Order prevents felling, topping or lopping a protected tree without the council's written consent.
A mortgage lender requires a tree report when a valuation surveyor flags trees close to the property's foundations. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept reports written to BS5837:2012. Without one, the lender withholds mortgage funds until a survey is submitted.
Subsidence risk arises when tree roots draw moisture from soil near a property's foundations, causing the ground to shrink. Insurers require a survey before renewing cover on a property near mature trees. The report includes species identification, root spread assessment and management recommendations.
Tree survey types in Sketty include three options: a Tree Condition Report for general health assessment, a Mortgage Tree Report for lender requirements, and a BS5837 survey for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and stability of a tree or group of trees. Homeowners and property managers request one to identify hazards or dieback.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuation flags trees near a property during a purchase or remortgage. It satisfies the tree-related conditions set by major UK mortgage lenders.
A BS5837 tree survey categorises every tree on site into one of four grades. It sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Swansea Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, who inspects every tree within scope. The arborist identifies species, assesses condition and photographs each tree. The written report with recommendations is delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Sketty takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report. The site visit itself takes 1 to 3 hours depending on tree count. A 48-hour urgent option is available for mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Sketty depends on the survey type, tree count and site size. 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.
