The review says of the property on High Street, Kensington: "Notable for its near original condition, although the building is very run-down and needs basic repairs and maintenance." Of the property on High Street, Kensington, it says: "Two native trees are located very close to the front wall and could be causing damage."

A tree close to a wall is a question for the provider and the council together: ask what the quote assumes about roots and moisture, and whether approval is needed before work starts.
