A tree survey in Falmouth is required for planning applications near protected trees, for mortgage lenders flagging trees on site, and for insurance assessment of subsidence risk.
Cornwall Council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application site contains trees, or trees on neighbouring land, capable of being affected by development. A Tree Preservation Order prevents felling, topping, lopping or root damage to a protected tree without the council's written consent.
A mortgage lender flags a property when trees stand close to the building and requires a tree report before releasing funds. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept these reports; without one, the lender withholds the mortgage offer.
Tree roots draw moisture from the soil beneath a foundation, causing ground shrinkage and subsidence. An insurer requires a report identifying species, assessing root spread and setting out management recommendations before confirming cover.
Falmouth properties use three survey types: 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, structural condition and safety of individual trees on a property. Homeowners, landlords and insurers request this report to manage risk and liability.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuer flags trees close to a property during the mortgage process. This report satisfies major UK lender requirements before completion.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site by quality and value, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Cornwall 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 condition assessment. The written report follows, with recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Falmouth takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report delivery. The site visit lasts 1 to 3 hours, with a 48-hour urgent option available for mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Falmouth 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 the survey, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Reports are written to BS5837:2012 and accepted by Cornwall Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
