Swansea properties across the SA1 postcode district sit within reach of trees regulated by Swansea Council. A tree survey documents species, condition and constraints before work near a property proceeds.
All surveys are completed by qualified arboricultural consultants with professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

A tree survey in Swansea is required for planning applications near protected trees, when a mortgage lender flags trees on site, and where insurance or subsidence risk is present.
Swansea Council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application involves trees on or near the site. A Tree Preservation Order makes it a criminal offence to fell, top, lop or damage a protected tree without the council's written consent.
A mortgage lender demands a tree report when a valuation flags trees within influencing distance of the property. Without one, Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC withhold mortgage funds until the risk is assessed and cleared.
Tree roots draw moisture from clay subsoil, causing the ground to shrink and the foundations to move. Insurers require a report identifying the species involved, assessing root spread, and setting out management recommendations before cover continues.
Three tree survey types cover Swansea: Tree Condition Reports for general health assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender conditions, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and safety of specified trees on a property. Homeowners, landlords and property managers request one to establish liability or plan maintenance work.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuation flags trees close to the property. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements before funds are released.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into one of four grades, 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, 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 Swansea takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report delivery. The site visit itself takes 1 to 3 hours, with a 48-hour urgent option available for mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Swansea 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, 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 Swansea Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
