    Chopping the tree down could do more harm to the property than leaving it there

    Depends which way it happens to be felled, of course. It's not just hit-and-miss.

    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

    It looks like the mortgage company will only accept a detailed written report, which we will obviously have to pay for. If it throws up something adverse, will the council allow us to have the tree chopped down? Or will they do it? Thanks

    Yes we could do that, are you allowed to get reports on trees that are not yours?

    I really can't see how anyone could possibly stop you.
