What Types of Tree Survey Are Available in Rotherham?
Rotherham property owners choose between three survey types: a Tree Condition Report for general health assessment, a Mortgage Tree Report for lender requirements, and a BS5837 survey for planning applications.
Tree Condition Reports (TCR)
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and stability of specific trees on a property. Homeowners, landlords and insurers request this report to identify hazards or disease before deciding on remedial work.
Mortgage Tree Reports (MTR)
A Mortgage Tree Report becomes necessary when a lender's valuation flags trees near the property before completion. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements and clears the condition attached to the mortgage offer.
BS5837 Tree Surveys
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into one of four grades, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Rotherham Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
