Tree Identification

Hello, can anyone help me identify a tree? We had this in our old garden and I’d really like to buy for my new garden. 

Thanks a lot!

Looks like a Liquidambar.

Are leaves this colour ?

Hi, they don’t have that deep purple colour. Just bright red and then fall off. Tree is only about 2.5m high, despite being at least 15 years old.

On second thoughts, looks like it could be a sweetgum. Ornamental possibly?

Definitely Liquidambar styraciflua ..many named cultivars...including one called Gum Ball.
