Got any pictures?

Just trying to screenshot from streetmap/rightmove....

The copper beech on the right at the front of the house is in the neighbours garden. FYI

The horse chestnut is as good as dead.

The copper beech close to the house appears to have been heavily reduced in one photo.

Can’t see the holm oak.

Thanks Mick,   The photo is from streetmap a few years old - the chestnut I think had just been coppiced as it's got a ball shaped head of leaves on it now.  Similarly the copper beech has alot more foliage now.  The holm oak's trunk is in the centre of the last picture (to the left of the copper beech trunk but hard to define in the dark area.

Would you be concerned about their proximity to the property?

It looks to me as if the owner is already addressing the issues with the treework that’s been done.

There are other factors like soil type and when the house was built that will influence the degree to which the trees will affect the building.

From what I can see that house will be quite a few shekels to buy. Why not get an arboricultural consultant in on top of the normal survey?

Hi Micks, thanks, thats a great idea, I'll google to see who we have locally.

Depending where you are you might find someone here is close.

Thanks Doug.

The answer is yes, if you're the sort of person who sweeps up leaves and pinecones then yes it will drive you mad.

I'd be checking for the TPO application that permission for that work was granted for. Unless those species weren't covered by the TPO I'd expect there to have been a pretty compelling reason supported by engineer's reports for that level of reduction to be approved.

I would cut them all down.

The Trees have out grown the garden and will be a long term cost.

Have the stumps ground out and plant something more suitable.

Thankfully the trees are protected. If you don't love the property with the trees, don't buy it!

That's a shame.

A shame if they all died suddenly.
