What Types of Tree Survey Are Available in Mauchline?
Mauchline property owners choose between three survey types: Tree Condition Reports for general health assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender compliance, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
Tree Condition Reports (TCR)
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and safety of individual trees on a property. Homeowners, landlords and insurers request this report to identify decay, disease or storm damage risk.
Mortgage Tree Reports (MTR)
A Mortgage Tree Report becomes required when a valuation surveyor flags trees close to the property during a mortgage application. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements before funds release.
BS5837 Tree Surveys
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into four grades, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. East Ayrshire Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
