A tree survey in Fareham becomes necessary when a planning application involves protected trees, when a mortgage lender flags trees on the property, or when insurers assess subsidence risk from nearby roots.
Fareham Council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application affects trees within the site or on adjoining land. A Tree Preservation Order makes it a criminal offence to fell, top, lop or wilfully damage a protected tree without the council's written consent.
A mortgage lender requires a tree report when a survey flags trees within falling distance of the property or near foundations. Without one, the lender withholds funds until a report is provided. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC all accept these reports.
Tree roots extract moisture from the soil near foundations, causing shrinkable soils to contract and structures to subside. Insurers require a report assessing this risk before renewing cover or settling a subsidence claim. The report identifies species, assesses root spread and details management recommendations.
Fareham property owners choose between three survey types: Tree Condition Reports for general health assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender compliance, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications requiring full tree constraints data.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and safety of individual trees on a property. Homeowners, landlords and insurers request one to identify hazards, disease or structural defects requiring management.
A Mortgage Tree Report becomes required when a valuation survey flags trees near the property during a purchase or remortgage. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements, confirming trees pose no structural risk to the building.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into grades A, B, C or U, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Fareham Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees on or near the development site.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree within scope, species identification and condition assessment. The written report follows with recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Fareham takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report. The site visit lasts 1 to 3 hours, and a 48-hour urgent option is available for mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Fareham depends on the survey type, the number of trees and the size of the site. Every 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 Fareham Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
