If you're getting a mortgage, your solicitor will be acting for the lender too, and might require the TPO to satisfy them for some reason.

Unless there's a suggestion of a prior breach (or the lender is keen to send somebody round with a chainsaw), I can't see why they would care.

The TPO will almost certainly be listed on the council website. Take a look.

But I don't understand what you or your solicitor expect to see. It's a protected tree.

You getting a mortgage? If not, instruct your solicitor to proceed (unless he has some other issue).

Hi the tree is listed on a PDF (with all the protected trees) on the councils website, but the actual certificate isn’t listed. 

I’m not sure if it’s a delay tactic for the solicitors to catch up on their workload or what not, but it’s highly frustrating.

Perhaps they are just thinking about the lead time required to e.g. book removal services.

Speak to the EA and speak to your solicitor, and I'm sure you'll figure it all out quite quickly.
