A tree survey in Wigston becomes necessary for three reasons: planning applications affecting protected trees, mortgage lenders flagging trees near a property, and insurance or subsidence concerns.
Oadby and Wigston Council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application affects trees within its jurisdiction. A Tree Preservation Order makes it a criminal offence to fell, prune or damage a protected tree without the council's written consent.
A mortgage lender demands a tree report when a valuer flags trees close to the property during survey. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC all require this before releasing funds, and withhold the mortgage offer without it.
Tree roots draw moisture from the soil, causing clay ground to shrink and foundations to crack. Insurers request a report identifying species, assessing root spread and recommending management action before confirming cover.
Wigston property owners choose between three survey types: 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, structure and safety of individual trees on a property. Homeowners, landlords and managing agents request this survey to identify hazards before they cause damage.
A Mortgage Tree Report becomes required when a lender's valuer identifies trees within influencing distance of a property. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements before mortgage approval proceeds.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into four grades, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Oadby and Wigston Council requires this document 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 condition assessment. The written report includes recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Wigston takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report delivery. The site visit lasts 1 to 3 hours, and a 48-hour urgent option covers tight mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Wigston depends on the survey type, the number of trees and the size of the site. 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 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 Oadby and Wigston Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
