Stow Hill sits within Newport, where property boundaries include mature trees close to walls and foundations. A tree survey establishes the condition and risk profile of every tree on site before work proceeds.
All surveys are completed by qualified arboricultural consultants with professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

A tree survey in Stow Hill becomes necessary for three reasons: planning applications near protected trees, a mortgage lender flagging trees on the property, and insurance assessment of subsidence risk from tree roots.
The council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application affects trees on or near the site. A Tree Preservation Order legally prevents felling, pruning or root damage without the council's written consent.
A mortgage lender demands a tree report when a survey flags trees within influencing distance of the property. Without the report, the lender withholds the mortgage offer. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept the report.
Tree roots draw moisture from the soil, causing the ground to shrink and the foundations to move. The insurer requires a written assessment before renewing cover. The report includes species identification, root spread assessment and management recommendations.
Three survey types serve different needs: Tree Condition Reports (TCR) for homeowners assessing risk, Mortgage Tree Reports (MTR) for lender-required checks, and BS5837 Tree Surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structural integrity and safety of individual trees. Homeowners, insurers and landowners request the report to manage risk before work or sale.
A Mortgage Tree Report becomes required when a lender flags trees on the property during a mortgage application. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements for property risk.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into four grades and sets root protection areas around each one. The survey produces a tree constraints plan required by the council for planning applications.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree in scope, species identification, condition assessment, and a written report with recommendations and photographs. The report arrives within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Stow Hill takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report delivery. The site visit lasts 1 to 3 hours. An urgent 48-hour option covers mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Stow Hill depends on the survey type, the number of trees and the site size. The quote is fixed before the site visit takes place.
The fixed price covers the site visit, the full written report, and follow-up questions at no extra cost.
A qualified arboriculture consultant carries out the survey, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. The report is written to BS5837:2012 and accepted by the council, lenders and insurers.
