A tree survey in Old Aberdeen becomes necessary for three reasons: a planning application involving protected trees, a mortgage lender requiring a tree report, or an insurer investigating subsidence risk.
Aberdeen City Council requires a BS5837 survey for planning applications affecting trees protected by a Tree Preservation Order. A TPO makes it a criminal offence to fell, prune or damage the protected tree without council consent.
A mortgage lender demands a tree report when trees stand near the property or within influencing distance. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept these reports as a condition of mortgage approval. Without one, the lender withholds the mortgage advance until the risk is assessed.
Tree roots draw moisture from the soil, causing clay to shrink and foundations to move. Insurers require a tree report before renewing cover or settling a subsidence claim. The report identifies species, assesses root spread and sets management recommendations.
Old Aberdeen tree surveys come in three types: 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 an individual tree or group. Homeowners, landlords and property managers commission one to check for disease, decay or hazard.
A Mortgage Tree Report becomes required when a lender's valuer flags trees near the property during the mortgage application. The report satisfies the tree-related conditions set by major UK lenders before completion.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into one of four grades and sets root protection areas. It produces a tree constraints plan required by Aberdeen City Council for planning applications.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree in scope, species identification and condition assessment. The written report includes recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Old Aberdeen 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 Old Aberdeen 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 every survey, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Reports are written to BS5837:2012 and accepted by Aberdeen City Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
