A tree survey in Eastleigh is required for three reasons: planning applications near protected trees, mortgage lenders flagging trees on site, and insurance or subsidence risk assessment.
Eastleigh Council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application affects 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 consent.
A mortgage lender requires a tree report when a valuation surveyor flags trees close to the property during the mortgage valuation. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC all accept these reports, and without one the lender withholds funds until it receives satisfactory evidence.
Tree roots cause subsidence by drawing moisture from the soil beneath foundations, making the ground shrink and shift. Insurers want a written report covering species identification, root spread assessment and management recommendations before confirming cover.
Eastleigh properties use three survey types: Tree Condition Reports for general health assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and safety of a specific tree or group of trees. Homeowners, insurers and solicitors request one to establish liability or management needs before a sale or dispute.
A Mortgage Tree Report becomes necessary when a lender's valuation surveyor identifies trees close to the property boundary. It satisfies the requirements of major UK mortgage lenders before completion.
A BS5837 tree survey categorises every tree on site by quality grade and sets root protection areas for each. Eastleigh Council requires this survey, and it produces a tree constraints plan for the planning application.
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 Eastleigh takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report delivery, with the site visit itself lasting 1 to 3 hours. A 48-hour urgent option covers mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Eastleigh depends on the survey type, the number of trees and the size of the site. The quote is fixed before the 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 Eastleigh Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
