This subject may be covered elsewhere on this site but after trawling gardens and buildings I cant find anything specific.
My wife and I are thinking of buying a house which we both like but it has one possibly nasty problem. There is a 15 ft plus tall leylandi conifer tree with the base some 30cms away from one of the corners of the building. There are no obvious visible cracks/problems with the walls.
I presume the pre-purchase survey would pick this up as a potential problem.
I raised my concern with the seller and they have said they will remove it before they sell the property, and if I agree to this what is the best way to remove it?
Should it be done gradually over years or what is the normal process with these?
Any comments appreciated.
