A tree survey in Bargoed becomes necessary for three reasons: a planning application near trees protected by Caerphilly Council, a mortgage lender flagging trees on site, or insurance concerns over subsidence risk.
Caerphilly Council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application affects trees on or within the site boundary. A Tree Preservation Order legally prevents felling, topping, lopping, uprooting or wilful damage to a protected tree without the council's written consent.
A mortgage lender demands a tree report when a valuation surveyor flags trees close to the property during the house-buying process. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC require this before releasing funds. Without a report, the lender withholds the mortgage offer.
Tree roots draw moisture from the soil beneath a building, causing it to shrink and the foundation to move, leading to subsidence. An insurer wants a report before renewing cover or settling a claim. The report includes species identification, root spread assessment and management recommendations.
Bargoed properties use three survey types: Tree Condition Reports for general risk assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications submitted to Caerphilly Council.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structural stability and risk level of individual trees on a property. Homeowners, insurers and property managers request this report to identify hazards before they cause damage or injury.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuation flags trees near the property boundary or foundation. This report satisfies the requirements of major UK mortgage lenders before completion.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into one of four grades, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Caerphilly Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree within the survey scope, species identification and a condition assessment of each tree. The written report includes recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days of the site visit.
A tree survey in Bargoed takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report delivery. The site visit itself 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 Bargoed depends on the survey type, the number of trees on site and the overall size of the plot. The quote is fixed before the site visit takes place.
The fixed price covers the site visit, the full written report and any follow-up questions afterwards, at no extra cost.
Consultants qualified in arboriculture carry out every tree survey, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Reports are written to BS5837:2012 and accepted by Caerphilly Council, mortgage lenders and insurance companies.
