Thank you
This is around twenty metres on the adjoining property . I will contact the owner …
But nicely
Must be a pretty big tree if it’s causing problems from 20 metres away!
I think you will get in to unnecessary conflict for the sake of someone that probably wont buy anyway…..plenty of time wasters. Get a view from your estate agent before getting too upset, they know the ropes, hopefully.

I think you may well be right, but it is a willow and I have heard this before …
I am selling a 60 year old house, it has a garden of around thirty metres , with the nearest house at 300 metres at the front and a kilometre at the back .
It even has air-con …
Having made the biggest decision of my life, I want to get away ASAP

I’ve started 2 weeks ago and the hedge is still not finished. The weather wasn’t good so it got delayed a bit. I’ve now completed the frontside. It’s trimmed around 3,5 metres high and it’s very heavy to do.

They came back with a silly offer, I was somewhat hacked by the entire experience. I told the agent that even if they offered the full asking price, I would not be selling to them.
It’s mine to sell.
Anyway I have had an offer and accepted it

I’ve not bought or sold a house in England for 25 years but I don’t remember it being like this the game seems to be keep looking until you find something wrong and when you do ask for a silly discount.
I’m waiting on a separate damp survey on a house with solid walls that’s over 100 years old it will show it has areas of damp, does it smell damp, does have obvious visible signs of damp? No.
I’m a builder and Bricklayer by trade and unless damp had caused floor or roof beams to become damaged and or large areas of pointing or render to be damaged I wouldn’t touch it and I haven’t but someone tasked to find areas of damp will find it.

I like this bloke a good common sense approach in his YouTube clips - this caught my eye and I tried it out today.
Works very well indeed and job done in a few minutes. I used a joist of wood and bag of sand on top to keep the slabs level.

When I sold my house last year (small Victorian mid-terrace) the purchaser’s mortgage surveyor asked if I’d had any problems with damp to which I replied nothing I wouldn’t expect in a property this age without a damp-proof course 
. The combination of original sash-windows and a wood burner meant it was well ventilated. Their lender didn’t raise any objections and neither did they.
Well surprise surprise the damp specialist found some damp and the buyer has asked for a reduction in price to cover the work to rectify the damp he found, when pricing the house on advice from friends and family who had sold recently we added enough to the valuation to cover a situation like this, so we will see.

I used CT1 for the same slab problem which has worked well.

Today and yesterday and probably tomorrow I am digging up about 15m of box hedge which had been attacked by box caterpillar. I’m sure when that’s done my next task will be several trips to the household recycling centre.
