Thanks all for the thoughts. Got the house insurance quote, mentioned trees but they weren’t too bothered. Agreed on leaves and general “cleanup” as a result of the tree. I quite like going up a set of ladders, so clearing out gutters is t an issue. I’m still interested to understand how much a mature trees root structure can change or not, or whether the roots should stay pretty stable if the tree is maintained well. My understanding is this tree should have a good pruning every 3-5 years, but probably max is 20-30% crown reduction. Anymore could result in negative effects on tree health. Have I got that right?

Hi all. New here and hoping for some good honest advice. looking at buying a beautiful house next to a whopping great (& beautiful) copper beech tree. Tree is roughly 20m tall, 1m diameter, and 1.5m from a lean to garage on the side of the house. House is 1930’s. I think the tree predates the house. In a recent neighbours report(it’s on the boundary line), the tree is in good health. Does a mature beech tree change its root structure much over time? RICS survey found no structural issues. Am I right in thinking that if in the future the tree had to go (for whatever reason), this is not great as the tree predates the house? ground is charmouth mudstone. Am I mad for even considering it? Any advice appreciated.
