Another consideration would how do you value the tree, applying cavat value may mean that the tress value is greater than cost of house. 

Fixed....  😀

Haha kevin, who put 20p in you buddy? 
 

im going to ignore your question about how many houses we develop because it adds no context whatsoever. The bottom line is these trees are damaging the house. 
 

the tree to the front of the house is stunning agreed, however, it’s causing quite a few issues, for example it’s hitting buses, the council have been contacted many times about it from neighbours sadly, the current owner doesn’t really care and if I showed you internal images you would see why. 
 

If there’s a way to keep the trees without the house being further damaged I’m all ears. 

to clarify, I have the drainage report showing damaged drains, I have a structural report from a chartered surveyor blaming the trees. Do I need anything else? 

 

for everyone else that’s commented I appreciate your replies

20p?  You wouldn't get much for 20p pal 😃 I do this for FUN!

 

The question about how many houses is entirely relevant since any reasonably prudent purchaser would have paid attention to such a glaringly obvious potential issue, and made them self aware of the statutory requirements associated with TPOs, PRIOR to purchase - unless, yome buying in such bulk that the odd hit for the sake of volume is irrelevant.

This was my first reaction when I read the ops post - why on earth buy a house with so many problems unless very cheap with the potential for profits outweighing the considerable costs involved in sorting it out

Well so what?

I don’t see how or why the OP bought the house has any relevance to the debate about heave.

CAVAT, apart from being a load of bollocks, is not applicable to private trees.

You’re probably right.....

 

Like the bloke that bought the 3 legged pony and then dripped about it not winning the race....

 

Not his fault at all.....  💤🌀
