Buying a house with a large tree in front

[Olpod]

Hi there. We in the process of buying a house in the UK, and it has a tall tree on the neighbors driveway about 8 meters in height (it's probably some kind of a pine tree), which is about 5-6 meters from our house. Is this something to worry about? Here are some photos showing it as well as the driveway which may be affected

I think we all know a bloke who could clean the drive and then hack the tree about a bit. Only if it's in Scotland though.

Or they could get in two separate companies that know what they are doing.

Thanks so much for the advice and identifying the tree, really helpful! We'll book a tree surveyor. Thanks for the laughs too
