Thanks Doug.

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

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?

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

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

Hi, I'm considering buying a house that has several large mature trees in the garden. I'm no expert but I think the three in the front are a chestnut, a holm oak and a copper beech - the latter 2 are within 5m of the property. At the end of the back garden there's what looks like a multi stemmed scots pine. Could anyone give me some advice? - My concerns are whether they are likely to cause damage to the property ( I know insurance may be more) and how much and how frequent maintenance would be. They are in a group TPO area, should I just rule this property out or are they going to be manageable? ( Or will sweeping up leaves, acorns, chestnuts and pine cones drive me nuts?!!)
