What Types of Tree Survey Are Available in St Helens?
Three survey types serve St Helens: Tree Condition Reports for risk assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lenders, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
Tree Condition Reports (TCR)
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structural condition and safety of individual trees. Insurers, homeowners and property managers request this report to identify hazards and management needs.
Mortgage Tree Reports (MTR)
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuer identifies trees near a property during purchase or remortgage. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements before funds release.
BS5837 Tree Surveys
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into one of four grades, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Isle of Wight Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
