Concerned about a plant growing up the side of the property

As the title suggests, next to the front door there is a plant that is quite tall, growing from the ground and up the side of the property. As far as I can see it is not attached the property but more leaning on it as it grows upwards.
My lender offer a free valuation for mortgage purposes and that is all that has been commissioned at present, is this likely to identify if this plant is an issue? I am concerned about it being Japanese Knotweed as well but having looked at it, there are not bamboo type shoots so I don't think it is but who knows.
The property was only built 5 years ago so originally I felt the valuation would be enough but I am wondering if I should pay for my own independent homebuyers report to check that this isn't an issue and for my peace of mind?

Post a photo link and we'll be able to identify/advise. It's probably not an issue though if it's not attached like Ivy.0

I have a photo on my computer but it will only let me post an image as a link, but it is not on an internet site, just a document on my computer.
Any ideas? Sorry am a bit rubbish with things like this :-/0 -
Use photobucket or flickr to upload it and then make a link once its public.0

Edit-If you right click on the image symbol you can open it as a separate page.0 -

Thanks for posting the photo and for your reply.
Sounds like it is not too much to worry about then. It doesn't have any flowers like I have seen on Wisteria and I first viewed it on the summer but I think it is in a shady spot so that maybe why.0 -
Have you asked the vendors about it? Wisteria can take some time to settle down before it starts flowering, especially if it's not in a sunny position.0
