[MrsD28]

Complete gardening novice here! We would like to plant a tree in our front garden and have noticed this one in a few local gardens... does anyone know what it is? Thank you in advance!

looks like magnolia

It's a magnolia.

Thank you! Just googled magnolia and that is definitely the right one

Magnolias are gorgeous but rarely flower when young, they need time. Also there are diff varieties and some need diff conditions.
Lifted this for you from RHS website - Newly planted trees can take several years to settle before starting into flower. Flowering is very dependent on site, and for M. grandiflora, plants in warm, sunny conditions are likely to flower best. Excess pruning can also delay flowering.

Good luck!
