Oliver if you're planning on moving I'd keep the tree and enjoy it until you're ready for the estate agent then take it out- maybe stick something there in a pot if it all looks a bit bare. At least you can take that with you when you move!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I don't know if you still have the Bay Tree as the last post was months ago,but why don't you take some cuttings to take with you when you move, and plant them in pots. Keep two (giving the rest away as presents) until you have one grown big enough for your own needs,and then keep one and give one away.
i had a large bay in my garden, very close to the house. it was a lovely shape and i tried to keep it in check, but over several years it got way beyond me being able to do this- 30ft +.
In the end i had it cut down, and now regret it, I would if given the choice, try and keep it in check, but be aware it's something you'd need to keep on top of.

I think, on balance, that it's going to have to go at some point. But maybe the time isn't... quite... yet! I hate chopping down trees
Thanks for the input everyone

my bay is near our back wall and has been there for years by being kept clipped and we have had no trouble (touch wood).
