I’m hoping someone may be able to advise me a little on this.
We have had a solicitors letter, as our neighbour has subsidance to her property. They have enclosed all sorts of findings and survey results, and basically the problem is that the clay soil under their extension has dried out due to tree roots extending from our tree.
The results have proven that it is our exact type of tree that the roots are coming from. They have basically asked us to acknowledge the letter, and also want to know if we are willing to cut down the tree and treat the roots.
We are more than happy to do this, but should I be worried about admitting any sort of liability? I drafted an email this morning, but I’m worried that admitting that the tree is ours could get me “into trouble”
They can see the tree is in our garden so it’s obviously ours but we’ve never had to deal with anything like this before.
Do I need to be careful in the wording of my email?
