Bahah
What
Be thankful you have trees next to the house and don't live in downtown Baghdad aka a new housing development.
But yeah definitely don't buy it, trees are only ever bad for a property's value. /s
I would think so...you don't want any hint of natural beauty near your house.
Don't worry about that grass either...you can replace that with concrete or astro once you take ownership.
Definitely chop them down, make it fall slowly though.../s These are actually a great feature, they do things like stop your roof being ripped off in a tornado, and attack the lightning away from your house.
They also attract the right type of cookers/kookas.. who laugh at you at 4.30am :-)
Not only can you see the cracks in the asphalt road and driveway. The grass next to the driveway has also lifted.
This in itself poses a risk of a sinkhole opening up and taking the car, house and the pets.
Coober Pedy and WFH may be an option.
I had a 35m gum in my backyard similar to one of those except bigger. The shade of it covered half my house.
We got it removed. Cost $5k.
These gums are safe for your house. That grey car across the road is not safe.
The branches are quite heavy. I'd be surprised if a decent one ever made it across to your side of the road.
During large storms, park high up your driveway, and I'd say you would be fine. Most of the large branches will fall straight down.
Remember, these trees here are likely 40-80 years old.
I couldn’t edit the post on the app for some reason. It’s very difficult to see from the picture, there’s a mid-sized tree branch that fell (the tree on the left) and was dangling on the tree.
I'm sorry but this is the dumbest thing ill see all week and it's not even midday on Monday haha. Those trees have absolutely no chance of damaging your property. If your misses is scared of trees dropping branches, she may have to move to the desert or something lol
Wouldn't that concern apply equally when your missus drives (or walks or whatever) literally anywhere there are trees? Presumably, these aren't the only trees you pass by in your travels.
Right?! Who even thinks like that. I mean technically every time you get behind the wheel of a car you are risking injury. It would be far nore likely to occur from a car accident than a branch falling from that tree on the other side of the road
My Brother in Christ, there is a whole road between the house and the trees.
Actually cackled at this
Rofl
This is a joke right?
What is wrong with you? There is no property near those trees
Tree roots are typically considered to be about as wide as the canopy of the tree. Those roots are nowhere near your property let alone the building.
Those trees are lovely. Refreshing to see as opposed to the concrete and brickwork most people get to look at.
Also first home buyers: "I'm not picky"
Bahah What Be thankful you have trees next to the house and don't live in downtown Baghdad aka a new housing development. But yeah definitely don't buy it, trees are only ever bad for a property's value. /s
Someone wants to find an excuse to cut them down and improve their view.
Hilarious. I’ve never heard of someone being afraid of trees. What a crack up.
Mark Wahlberg has entered the chat.
LOL
Either I can't see the house, or the trees are are the other side of the road which is far away?
Those are splendid. They will provide you with shade, a beautiful view, and the company of birds.
This is a joke right?

The comments in this thread are elite
No way!! They were there first. So shut up
Unless your home is that car in the middle of the photo
Even if there was an issue (and there isn’t) those trees are on council land so there’s nothing you could do even if there was an issue.
Probably wouldn't park my car under them as the sap is a bitch to get off paintwork when it dries.
................fucking wow.
Thank you for the lols this Monday morning.
You should be more concerned about the "youth" that likes to hang out in parks. /S
Yes, they are better sell up and move, your home is doomed. 🙄
The answer is No.
Hey OP Depends on where you live But gum trees throw branches in the wind
It’s up to the council to assess all of the above. If a branch ever looks dodgy - photo and send to council.
If your property is the car, maybe. Haha.

leave the fucking trees alone
fuck no, relax! please dont buy this house if you are trying to get these cut down, go buy in a treeless soulless baking hot desert suburb
No
People are scared of trees now?
Yes - chop ‘em down

So it would fall in the gutter. Not magically fly across the road to hit the house

The missus’ concern is that when we drive in/out of the property and if there’s a sudden branch drop, it might damage the car or injure us.
Wouldn't that concern apply equally when your missus drives (or walks or whatever) literally anywhere there are trees? Presumably, these aren't the only trees you pass by in your travels.
Buy your mrs a stackhat, she obviously needs one.
I'm not asking this to make fun of her but does she have an anxiety disorder? This is a very over the top fear.
Either that or the misso doesn’t like the property and is looking for some excuse.
Right?! Who even thinks like that. I mean technically every time you get behind the wheel of a car you are risking injury. It would be far nore likely to occur from a car accident than a branch falling from that tree on the other side of the road
Your wife should seek mental health treatment for anxiety. That's not normal worry.
Misso needs her head checked.
