A tree survey in Windsor becomes necessary in three situations: a planning application near a Tree Preservation Order, a mortgage lender flagging trees near the property, or insurance concerns over subsidence risk.
Windsor and Maidenhead Council requires a BS5837 survey for any planning application involving trees within the site or on adjacent land. A Tree Preservation Order prevents felling, topping, lopping or uprooting a protected tree without council consent.
A mortgage lender demands a tree report when a surveyor flags trees within influencing distance of the property during valuation. Without the report, the lender withholds funds until it is submitted. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept these reports.
Tree roots extract moisture from the ground, causing soil to shrink and foundations to move. An insurer requires a report identifying the species, assessing root spread and setting management recommendations before renewing cover.
Windsor property owners choose from three survey types: Tree Condition Reports for tree health checks, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 Tree Surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and safety of a specific tree or group of trees. Homeowners, insurers and local authorities request this report to identify risk before removal or management decisions.
A Mortgage Tree Report becomes required when a lender's valuation surveyor identifies trees within root influence distance of the property. This report satisfies mortgage lender requirements for loan approval and completion.
A BS5837 Tree Survey categorises every tree on site using the British Standard system, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Windsor and Maidenhead 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, condition assessment and a written report with recommendations and photographs. Windsor clients receive the report within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Windsor takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report delivery. The site visit lasts 1 to 3 hours, and a 48-hour urgent option is available for mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Windsor 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.
