Plan

Before you offer

1. Get two written rental appraisals from local lettings agents.
The rent estimate rests on area-level evidence, not lettings on this street.
2. Ask the agent why the price was reduced and whether a previous sale fell through.
1 price cut(s) recorded on the listing history.
3. Treat the gap to the estimate as unproven - compare recent sold prices on the street yourself before pricing an offer around it.
On later completions, homes listed below their estimate sold at the same share of the asking price as the rest.
4. Commission a full structural survey, not a basic condition report.
The score prices market evidence, not the fabric of the building.

Application to carry out Tree Surgery works to no. 1 Lime Tree (T1) as shown within the Yeovil District Council (SPAR 1) 1976 Tree Preservation Order. Description of required remedial work: An overall reduction by lessening height by 6 metres and trimming width by 2.5 meters was carried out in 2017. Since the tree has now re-instated the historical crown size prior 2017 reduction. Since the reaching distance of the tree to the dwelling, it is proposed to reduce the overall radial spread back to (2017) historical pruning point with the view of reduce sail factor and deliver a remedial action in respect of proactive tree risk management. This can be achieved by removing 9 years of incremental growth therefore approx. reducing the radial and apical outline by3.5- 4 metres from the outer branch tips

T1 T2 T3 Small leaves lime ( tilia cordata) Re pollard trees by removing the epicormic and reiteration growth back near the past 2018 reductions points this will lessen the overall canopy radial spread by approx. 4 metres. All pruning cuts wont exceed approx. 65 mm in diameters and will be applied only on the new regenerative young wood, therefore the tree surgery work will trespass the young material as threshold point between parent limbs or main scaffold structure and the already established pollard heads. T 4 Overmature oak ( quercus robur)growing in the field corner, prune the lowest tips of south east branch to lift canopy by half metres to improve light factor in the garden. The removal of a little branch drop crotch cut with silky saw ( approx. diameter of cut 25-30 mm).
