Oak tree for sale/fell

I refer to almost all houses in the UK as rabbit hutches. 
 
On a serious note, the houses are patently architecturally awful. The only redeeming feature of that I can see is the oak tree in the front garden. The house was purchased with the tree already standing in the garden - why buy the house if the intention is to fell the tree?
 
Does my head in. Developers pack shitty little houses onto postage stamp sized plots, leave the odd token tree than invariably ends up getting felled when someone buys a house and doesn't like the tree. 
I hate this argument. It is so difficult to find the perfect house when searching and always end up compromising. This house could have been ideal in every way ( right location, school, on suite bedroom etc) for the purchaser, bar the tree. So its a no brainer, buy the house and fell the tree, exactly what I'd do.

Job looks £500-800 to me. Easy day for 2 unless I'm missing something.

I disagree. 

 

I fail to see how the oak tree is negatively affecting the house. I'd bet that it's a stand out amentity feature on the road, and that the neighbours would be very sad to see it go. It has ecological value too, and will help with solar shading in summer. 

 

It would be no more expensive to perform a well considered and sympathetic reduction which would bring it down to a more appropriate size for it's setting, whilst maintaining the amenity and ecological value of the Oak tree. 

 

The last thing a modern housing estate needs is a reduction in the number of mature trees.
