water it well (both before and after transplanting - and I mean SOAK it), keep it wet and the root ball covered while you transplant it and try and get as big of a root ball on it as possible.
bit of advice is to dig the hole that its going into first (it doesn't matter if its too big) that way it won't be sat out drying while you dig its new home.
Just in case anyone is interested, I didn't move the tree, too much work for an unclear result. I have planted a new small one which is thriving. Thanks for all your advice.

Meadow I hope you can successfully transplant it
It's a lovely tree especially in the Autumn, which you'll know 
Please tell us what happens.

Which one is it in your picture KEF? The brown barked one on the left, or the smaller one to the right and in front?
Woody the one on the left, brown bark.
Early November last year just starting to colour.
Lovely specimen of a favourite tree of mine.
Thanks
