Looking for some advice please, relatively new to homeowning and have no-one else to ask! It turns out our neighbour has been having issues with a leak which is after investigation down to a large tree outside his house, roots affecting the pipework. It's only a couple of foot over from our boundary, so stands to reason if he's having issues, one day we may too!
He said he's been on to the council about having it taken down, and now has to pay for some sort of environmental investigation. My question is, does insurance cover anything like this, or would he have to pay himself? To be honest I'd not miss the tree, would be easier with it gone, but didn't know if I should offer towards costs or just let him carry on (has been going on some months I gather!)? Also have no idea how much it could end up being, if anyone else has been through similar?
(Outed myself as a total novice here)
