What Types of Tree Survey Are Available in Totland?
Totland tree surveys fall into three types: Tree Condition Reports for homeowners managing existing trees, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
Tree Condition Reports (TCR)
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, stability and structural condition of trees on a property. Homeowners, landlords and insurers request this report to identify hazards and recommend management action.
Mortgage Tree Reports (MTR)
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuation identifies trees close to the property boundary or structure. The report satisfies the tree-related conditions attached to mortgage offers from major UK lenders.
BS5837 Tree Surveys
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site by quality and value, sets root protection areas, and produces a tree constraints plan. Isle of Wight Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
