A tree survey in Solihull is required for planning applications near protected trees, mortgage lender conditions on the property, and insurance concerns over subsidence risk.
Solihull Council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application affects trees on or near the site. A Tree Preservation Order prevents felling, topping, lopping or wilful damage to a protected tree without the council's written consent.
A mortgage lender requires a tree report when trees stand close to the property or within the boundary. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept these reports; without one, the lender withholds mortgage funds until the survey is completed.
Tree roots draw moisture from the soil beneath a property's foundations, causing ground shrinkage and subsidence. Insurers require a tree survey identifying the species, root spread and management recommendations before renewing or issuing cover.
Three survey types are available in Solihull: Tree Condition Reports for general tree health, 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. Homeowners, insurers and landowners request this report to identify risk before it becomes a hazard.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender identifies trees within influencing distance of the property during a survey or valuation. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements before funds release.
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 for design purposes. Solihull Council requires this survey for planning applications involving trees.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree within scope, species identification, condition assessment and a written report with recommendations and photographs. The report arrives within 5 working days of the site visit.
A tree survey in Solihull takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report, with a 1 to 3 hour site visit. A 48-hour urgent option covers mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Solihull 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 afterwards, at no extra cost.
Consultants qualified in arboriculture carry out every tree survey, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Reports follow BS5837:2012 and are accepted by Solihull Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
