- Dec 2022Tree WorksTreesOutcome in report
The work would be the removal of the crabapple tree to due the very close proximity to the boundary wall and to the house. The tree has caused many cracks in the wall and lifting of severalgarden stones. I am concerned over the house foundations being safe and the sewer than runs directly underneath may become blockaged as their roots are likely to get into them. .The tree is leaning into my neighbour's garden, it has more weight on one side than the other making it more susceptible to falling which could cause harm or damage if it were to fall. Dead branches snap and fall off frequently as it has been diagnosed with a fungal infection or a virus. There are often growths that I remove that resemble mushrooms which is a sign that the tree is infected and dying.I have been advise by a tree surgeon that it would be best to cut the tree down and replant a new sapling in a better location.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1a is modelled from its 116 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 1AJ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 1a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 1a was lodged in April 2025 at band E and is valid until April 2035. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 1a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 1AJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1a is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
