A tree survey in Maesteg becomes necessary for three reasons: a planning application near protected trees, a mortgage lender flagging trees on the property, or insurance concerns over subsidence risk.
Bridgend Council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application affects trees within the site or on adjacent land. A Tree Preservation Order legally prevents felling, topping, lopping or uprooting of a protected tree without the council's written consent.
A mortgage lender requires a tree report when a valuation surveyor flags trees close to the property during inspection. Without one, the lender withholds funds until the report is submitted. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept these reports.
Subsidence occurs when tree roots draw moisture from clay soil, causing the ground beneath foundations to shrink and shift. Insurers require a report identifying species, root spread and management recommendations before renewing cover near affected trees.
Three tree survey types are available in Maesteg: 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, structural stability and safety of individual trees on a property. Homeowners, landlords and insurers request this report to identify hazards before they cause damage or injury.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuation flags trees within influencing distance of the property. This report satisfies the tree-related conditions set by major UK mortgage lenders before completion.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into one of four grades, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Bridgend Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified consultant, inspection of every tree within scope, and species identification. The consultant records condition, structural defects and management recommendations, then delivers a written report with photographs within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Maesteg takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report delivery. The site visit itself lasts 1 to 3 hours, depending on tree count. A 48-hour urgent option covers tight mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Maesteg depends on survey type, the number of trees on site and overall 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 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 Bridgend Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
