A tree survey in Hengrove is required for three reasons: planning applications near protected trees, mortgage lenders flagging trees on site, and insurance or subsidence risk.
Bristol, City of requires a BS5837 tree survey when a planning application affects trees within the site or on adjacent land. A Tree Preservation Order legally prevents felling, topping, lopping or root damage without council consent.
A mortgage lender requires a tree report when a valuation surveyor notes trees within influencing distance of the property. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC all require this evidence before releasing funds. Without it, the lender withholds the mortgage offer.
Tree roots remove moisture from the soil near foundations, causing the ground to shrink and the building to subside. Insurers request a tree report before settling a subsidence claim or renewing cover. The report identifies species, assesses root spread and sets management recommendations.
Hengrove 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 Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuation flags trees close to a property during a purchase or remortgage. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements before funds release.
