AGENTS NOTE The vendor advises that 3 small stems of Japanese Knotweed were found at the bottom of the garden in Spring 2026. A survey was carried out by Southwest Knotweed Ltd in April and the surveyor noted that the Japanese Knotweed presents no immediate threat to the main property due to the distance. A 10-year Insurance backed guarantee and treatment program has been put in place to ensure the knotweed is dealt with correctly.
