Tree overhanging property and restricting daylight..

I had to laugh (just a little, sorry!) at the pictures of a house and a tree with the house and tree both helpfully labelled "house" and "tree". :-)

haha some people are easily confused... truth be nkown i heavily cropped the photos in the end, from the originals it may not have been clear which house and tree i was refering to. :rotfl:

From the photo it looks like the tree is touching the upstairs window or is at least right in front of it blocking most light.That def needs cut back,get the council to do it if its their tree.You can do it yourself too once you buy the house,you are entitled to cut back any branches or foliage which overhangs your property as long as you put the branches back on the councils property.
Check too if its overhanging the gutters,which it looks like in the photos.You don,t want someone elses tree costing you money on blockages and roof repairs.
The tree doesnt look old enough to have a preservation order on it so you won,t have any trouble getting it cut back or removed.
