What Types of Tree Survey Are Available in Dollar?
Dollar properties use three survey types: the Tree Condition Report for general health and safety checks, the Mortgage Tree Report for lender requirements, and the BS5837 survey for planning applications.
Tree Condition Reports (TCR)
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structural condition and safety of a tree or group of trees. Homeowners, landowners and insurers request this report to identify hazards and management needs.
Mortgage Tree Reports (MTR)
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuation surveyor flags trees near the property during the mortgage application. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements before completion.
BS5837 Tree Surveys
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site by quality and value, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Clackmannanshire Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
