    Hi,

    I am looking to purchase a property for development purpose that has a massive tree in its backyard.
    I am wondering how much it may cost to remove this tree or if the removal is possible at all?

    Property is located in Sydney south-west.

    I'd be calling the local council who either will say you can remove it, or it must stay.

    If you can remove it, then get a quote from a tree lopper.

    ... or if you make an offer, have a subject to due diligence clause and talk to council and get an arborist in to quote on it.
