A tree survey in Ealing is required for planning applications affecting protected trees, mortgage lender requests, or insurance concerns over subsidence risk from tree roots.
Ealing Council requires a BS5837 tree survey when a planning application affects trees on or near the site. A Tree Preservation Order makes it a criminal offence to fell, top, lop or damage a protected tree without the council's written consent.
A mortgage lender requires a tree survey when trees stand within influencing distance of the property. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept these reports before releasing funds. Without one, the lender withholds the mortgage offer until the report is provided.
Tree roots draw moisture from the soil, causing the ground to shrink and the foundations to subside. Insurers require a report identifying the species, assessing root spread, and recommending management action before covering or renewing a policy near mature trees.
Ealing tree surveys come in three types: Tree Condition Reports for property owners assessing tree health, Mortgage Tree Reports for lenders requiring pre-purchase checks, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications submitted to Ealing Council.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structural condition and safety of a specific tree. Property owners request one before removal, after storm damage, or when a neighbour raises a dispute over a boundary tree.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a surveyor flags trees near the property during a mortgage valuation. The report satisfies the tree-related conditions set by major UK mortgage lenders before completion.
A BS5837 tree survey categorises every tree on site using the British Standard grading system. It sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan for the site layout. Ealing Council requires this survey before granting planning permission.
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. The consultant delivers the report within 5 working days of the site visit.
A tree survey in Ealing takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report delivery. The site visit takes 1 to 3 hours, based on the number of trees on site. A 48-hour urgent option is available for mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Ealing depends on the survey type, the number of trees, and the size of the site. The consultant fixes the quote 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 Ealing Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
