Am I right? This house inside is nice and big, but I trust the woods in east blocked about 2 hours sunshine from 15 oct to 15 Feb, and the front neighbours house blocked about 2 hours sunshine in the mid day.
Many thanks

    Would help if you explained the context here? 
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    It's an East facing house most of the shadow(back) will be from the house itself after noon.

    If you want sunny on the back this would have been discarded at the first look on Google.

    Sunny afternoon on the front.

    I love those trees. I'm fortunate to live in a similar property that has woodland behind it which cannot be built on. But I'm sorry to say that I don't like the way those houses have been built. It looks messy and crowded and not very well thought out to me. The sunlight or lack of it and the trees wouldn't bother me at all but the houses look too close to each other. I'd have to pass.

    Sunny afternoon on the front.
    It will be sunny in the back all morning during British summer time. Depends on whether you prefer a morning cuppa in the garden or an evening glass of wine as to whether East or West facing is best. The rooms  at the front will hgave the sun in the afternoon and vice versa

    This is the house: (Link deleted at OP's request.)
    There will be some loss of early sunshine, especially in winter time, but later in the morning there will be sunshine in the rear  garden. The aerial photo taken on a winter morning shows some shading at the front from the southerly neighbour, but it's not excessive.
    Later in the day, the single storey garage will allow direct sunshine into most of the garden.
     Unless one is buying a property set on its own, there is always going to be some shading from neighbours and/or trees. If you want to sit privately on a patio and watch the sun set then this might not be the house for you, but otherwise it's similar to millions of others with regard to sunshine received.

    Once you view the location you'll note that building density is considerably less than on may modern estates.

    Toss a coin - heads you buy it, tails you don't.  If you like the answer the coin gives, go with the coin.  If you don't, go with your gut.  Either way, the decision is made.

    Its neighbour's house is too special, most of house are not built like this one which block about 7 metres of its front door, 
    This caused about 2 hours loss of sunshine from oct to feb which is so valuable in the those months.
    As the sun is too low between OCT to Feb for the house
