  • Thanks guys. Was hoping I was wrong. Not looking forward to telling them.
    Do they need to declare it or is that only if you're selling a property?
  • Ignore that, it answers it in the link you've provided. 
    If they get it treated professionally will it still go against them if they sell down the line or is a professional treatment plan classed as a cure?

    The government link above explains. Its best to get it seen to professionally because it may spread which can cause problems in the neighbourhood possibly affecting property values and mortgage ability, not to mention the value of their own property.

    The young shoots are apparently delicious and can be eaten like rhubarb

    It looks like it to me. We have Japanese Knotweed and this Autumn will be our third year treating it. There are no signs of new shoots so far this year, so we're hopeful. 🤞🏻

    Here are some of our new shoots from the end of March last year.
