What Types of Tree Survey Are Available in Ogmore-by-Sea?
Ogmore-by-Sea property owners choose from three survey types: Tree Condition Reports for general health assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
Tree Condition Reports (TCR)
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and stability of individual trees on a property. Homeowners request one before removal, and insurers request one to assess subsidence risk.
Mortgage Tree Reports (MTR)
A Mortgage Tree Report becomes necessary when a lender's valuation surveyor flags trees near the property during a house purchase. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements before funds release.
BS5837 Tree Surveys
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into four grades, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Vale of Glamorgan Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
