Any positive/rational Japanese Knotweed house sale experiences?

OP if you have read up about JK you will already know it can be eradicated , plenty of advise from proffessionals on internet,

but as you say its already being treated I don't understand your concerns

its almost impossible to find a property in S Wales that doesn't have JK , and I would say 95% of council land has or had at some time JK,
some areas are now being treated especially wasteland near private property ,and have to say the treatment does work

Thanks all. I'm in London, where it seems to be less well known about than Cornwall/Devon.

As for the flight comparison, the comparison is with any risky activity (e.g. cycling through London, catching a flight v not travelling, playing football...) You know there are risks which could be serious but most of the time those won't transpire.

There's no issue with Japanese Knotweed growing in the back of the garden per se or generally when it's being monitored and treated - I spoke to a colleagueof mine who lives in the west country and has had it growing in his garden for years, though not near the property. The issue that causes people to worry is when it damages the structure of the house - and that happens very rarely relative to how often knotweed occurs in people's gardens.
