Disclosing Japanese Knotweed to agent/buyer

Good thinking:T

Hopefully a devious seller shouldn't be able to find a way to wriggle through and tell porkies put like that.

I viewed a terraced property this week in Cornwall with coal access ally behind the courtyards of the terrace, and there it was Fallopia japonica in all its beauty. I informed the estate agent that was with us and they seemed non phased by it weather through ignorance or indifference but before booking the appointment I had asked specifically about JK and non standard construction. The property is still being marketed with no alteration to its listing. Do estate agents not have to give full disclosure of this once they have been informed. I would hate to think that someone has gone to that property and brought or even started the process and wasted there money finding out something the estate agent should of told them.

Depends what 'informed' means.

A member of the public told the agent something which may not have been correct. They might have mis-identified Russian vine.;)
