Nuisance Tree

Barratts won't give a shite, once you've signed the paperwork and they have your cash.

Just cut down any branches that are in your boundary and hoy them ower the old dears fence.

This is legally the correct answer. Technically the tree is her property but if any part of it is overhanging his property then he has every right to remove that part. However, the removed part is still her property so he must return it to her or its considered theft. He just has to make sure he doesn't remove any part of an overhanging branch which is still on her side of the fence as that is considered criminal damage to her property.

How can you have an end-terrace house that’s attached to two other houses?

Thought I must’ve been reading it wrong. :lol:
Has the OP made the whole thing up?

I reckon he has. Either that or fallen for some clever marketing ploy.

“This isn’t a mid-terrace, this house is actually at the end of one terrace and the start of another.”

In the wonderful world of new house builds I think they probably refer to houses as 'end terrace' even when the next one is only 6 inches away or summat. That's how I read it when I wasn't thinking it sounded like another whopper from the OP.

I read it as there are only 3 houses in the terrace - his, one in the middle and another end terrace attached to that.

Simply climb the tree in Michael Jackson style every evening. When she asks you to get down and stop it copy MJ and simply say in a high-pitched voice "You don't climb trees, you're missing out". She'll end up chopping the entire tree down just to stop your lunatic behaviour.

We have reserved a new house and there is a git massive tree in a neighbouring garden at the rear that belongs to an older housing estate.

anyway we have reserved an end terrace that's attached to the middle house and another end terrace anyway this tree have one massive branch that grows over the middle garden with branches and leaves that overshadow all three gardens.....in fact one of the branches is hitting off the other end houses roof..

these are 3 story hooses btw.

we have told barrats our concerns they are also aware of the issue as other prospective buyers have mentioned this f***ing tree.

It is now with their legal team, we know there is no preservation order on the tree as we have checked..

whats the chances of barrats getting the nuisance branch chopped off the tree?

If it hangs over your boundary you have a legal right to cut the offending limb. You don't even need to ask.

This.
 
Barratt are utter cúnts mind.

My sister (no) had nowt but bother dealing with them when she bought a new build a few years back.

She was one of the first to move onto the estate as it was still being built so had one of the first houses as you drive in to look at the show houses, they kept f***ing her about so she put a big sign in her garden Len Lowther style telling people not to buy Barratt and why.

Can cut back both limbs and roots that overgrow your property .. Think you have to offer back the bit you trim off, up to them to say no of course but that way you are offering their property back. Might be a bit different for you as tree was there

before properties were built.......Barrats must be shite, this should have been sorted pre build. Tell them you want a discount for the hassle or compensation - what they going to give you?.

Correct to a certain extent. If you're pruning/cutting back is excessive yet still within the boudary line and causes the tree to die you'll be liable. My advice is appoint a qualified, competent and more importantly insured tree surgeon.
