- Dec 2020Tree WorksTreesOutcome in report
Cupressus Elwoodii ( T1) _ Fell as the tree is multi stemmed with many of these stems collapsed damaging fencing and is preventing larger vehicles accessing drive and in its present form taking up far too much of the garden for the garden to be enjoyed by our client. Unattractive and likely to collapse further with potential to cause further damage or injury. We do not propose to replant a tree due to size of the garden( though client will re landscape with shrubs etc) and the fact that large spinney is immediately to rear.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 29 Church Hill is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 8YE. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 29 Church Hill. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
