To cut down nextdoor's tree

Our previous neighbour died a few years ago. The house has just been sold and is very slowly being redecorated. We haven't seen the owners yet but every couple of weeks for a day there's a different company going in and refitting carpets, etc. Most of the time the house is empty.

The garden has been left to grow, it's not been touched since it was sold. There is a tree that's started to grow a few inches away from our fence on their side, about 1ft away from our wall. It's about 7ft tall now. As we don't know when/if the owners are going to come in and get the garden fixed up, WIBU to go and cut it down before it causes any damage to our property?

Yes unreasonable and illegal.

Find the owners and communicate.

Of course it would BU, not to mention completely illegal.
