A tree survey in Garthdee is required for three situations: a planning application affecting protected trees, a mortgage lender flagging trees near the property, or an insurer assessing subsidence risk.
Aberdeen City Council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application affects trees on or near the site. A Tree Preservation Order legally prevents felling, topping or root damage without council consent.
A mortgage lender requires a tree report when trees stand close to the property boundary or foundations. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept these reports. Without one, the lender withholds mortgage funds.
Tree roots draw moisture from the soil, causing shrinkage and subsidence beneath foundations. Insurers require a report showing species identification, root spread assessment and management recommendations before renewing cover.
Three tree survey types are available in Garthdee: Tree Condition Reports for general health assessments, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and safety of individual trees. Homeowners, insurers and local authorities request one to identify risk or disease before action is needed.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender flags trees during a property purchase or remortgage. The report satisfies the requirements of major UK lenders before funds release.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into grades A, B, C or U based on quality and value. It sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Aberdeen City Council requires this survey for planning applications.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree in scope, and species identification. The survey records condition assessments and produces a written report with recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Garthdee takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report. The site visit lasts 1 to 3 hours, and a 48-hour urgent option covers mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Garthdee depends on the survey type, the number of trees and the 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.
Consultants qualified in arboriculture carry out the survey, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Reports are written to BS5837:2012 and accepted by Aberdeen City Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
