T1- Sycamore Tree to reduce by a third. Taking about 10/15ft off top and approx 8 inch diameter cuts. Reducing all side branches around the whole tree cutting no more than 4/5 inch approx diameter of cuts max. The stem which goes off to the right take down to the ground. (will see stem in picture marked in red) We want to do this to make it safer for all neighbours around as Tree is getting to big for the area. It will still look like a nice Tree just smaller.

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 5 Argyll Mews is modelled from its 114 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in EX4 4RP. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 5 Argyll Mews. 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 5 Argyll Mews was lodged in January 2019 at band D and is valid until January 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5 Argyll Mews. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from EX4 4RP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Argyll Mews is in council tax band D. 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.
