A tree survey in Coll is required for three reasons: a planning application affecting protected trees, a mortgage lender flagging trees near the property, or insurance concerns over subsidence risk.
Na h-Eileanan Siar Council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application affects trees on or near the site. A Tree Preservation Order legally prevents felling, topping, lopping or root damage without the council's written consent.
A lender demands a tree report when a mortgage valuation flags trees close to the property. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC all require this before releasing funds. Without it, the lender withholds the mortgage offer.
Tree roots draw moisture from clay subsoil, causing it to shrink and the ground beneath foundations to subside. Insurers request a report identifying the species, assessing root spread, and setting out management recommendations to reduce the risk.
Coll properties use three survey types: a Tree Condition Report for general health checks, a Mortgage Tree Report for lending, and a BS5837 survey for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and stability of a specific tree or group. Homeowners, landlords and insurers request one to identify hazards or disease before deciding on works.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuation flags trees near the property boundary or foundations. It satisfies the requirements set by major UK lenders before a mortgage offer is confirmed.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site by quality and value, sets root protection areas, and produces a tree constraints plan. Na h-Eileanan Siar Council requires this for planning applications affecting trees.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree within scope, species identification, and a condition assessment. The written report follows, with recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Coll takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report, with the site visit itself lasting 1 to 3 hours. A 48-hour urgent option is available against mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Coll depends on the survey type, the number of trees, and the size of the site. The quote is fixed before the visit takes place.
The fixed price covers the site visit, the full written report, and follow-up questions afterwards at no extra cost.
The survey is carried out by consultants qualified in arboriculture, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Reports are written to BS5837:2012 and accepted by Na h-Eileanan Siar Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
