Looking for advise, thinking of buying a home that has two 30ft Leylandii trees in the garden approximately 4 metres away from the property. I believe the house was built in the 1970s and trees were planted after. Anyone know if I could have them removed or could it cause the property to heave. I have tried contacting tree surgeons but having no luck.

Keep looking then because a general gardener isn't going to the same job, have you thought about having them reduced rather than removed ?
And i'm presuming these are completely alive and not just partially where they've been cut into in the past and created areas of brown, dead, foliage ?

Please don’t keep the retched things, they are ugly and apart from shelter, provide zero benefit for native wildlife. 

Apart from the 4 starlings and 2 blackbirds that I am aware of that are nesting in my Leylandia hedge.

Depends on if they are replaced with another tree - or barrenness.

We had nests in our leylandii hedge.
