A tree survey in Radyr is required for three reasons: a planning application affects trees protected by a Tree Preservation Order, a mortgage lender flags trees near the property, or insurers assess subsidence risk from nearby trees.
Cardiff Council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application involves trees on or near the site. A Tree Preservation Order, issued by Cardiff Council, makes it a criminal offence to fell, top or lop a protected tree without consent.
A mortgage valuer flags trees standing close to the property or showing signs of root damage. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC require a tree report before releasing funds. Without one, the lender withholds the mortgage offer.
Tree roots draw moisture from clay soil, shrinking the ground and destabilising foundations. Insurers require a report before settling a subsidence claim. The report identifies species, assesses root spread and sets out management recommendations.
Radyr properties use three survey types: Tree Condition Reports for general health assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and safety of individual trees. Homeowners, landlords and insurers request one to check for disease, decay or storm damage risk.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuer identifies trees close to the property during a mortgage application. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements before completion.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into four grades, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Cardiff Council requires this survey for planning applications involving 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 includes recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days of the site visit.
A tree survey in Radyr takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report delivery. The site visit lasts 1 to 3 hours, depending on the number of trees. A 48-hour urgent option covers mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Radyr 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 every survey, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Reports are written to BS5837:2012 and accepted by Cardiff Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
