A tree survey in Crawley is required for three reasons: a planning application near protected trees, a mortgage lender flagging trees on site, or an insurer assessing subsidence risk.
Crawley 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 or root damage without council consent.
A mortgage lender requires a tree report when trees stand within influencing distance of the property. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC all accept these reports, and without one the lender withholds funds.
Tree roots draw moisture from the soil, causing it to shrink and the foundation to move. An insurer requires species identification, root spread assessment and management recommendations before confirming cover.
Three survey types are available in Crawley: Tree Condition Reports for general risk assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
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 before they cause damage or injury.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender flags trees near the property during a valuation. The 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. Crawley Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree within scope, species identification and a condition assessment. The written report includes recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Crawley takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report. The site visit lasts 1 to 3 hours, and a 48-hour urgent option covers mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Crawley 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 the survey, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Reports are written to BS5837:2012 and accepted by Crawley Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
