Can't believe I'm having to write this - would really appreciate help/advice.
We are sold to first time buyers and in a chain buying a house.
Everything seemed to be going fine but then the management pack came through highlighting Japanese knotweed. We were unaware when moving in as it is a new build. However, we found out as neighbours (also small block of flats) know but the knotweed was there before flats were built and there's a long term treatment in place under condition of the council. So everyone was able to get mortgages fine.
The knotweed isn't on my flat as we have no garden and it affects the neighbouring building and joint car park.
Anyway, the words Japanese knotweed have sent our buyers into a tail spin and they're considering pulling out. We've never had an issue with the knotweed, there's insurance in place, there's the new build warranty still in place, and of course the treatment is being carried out.
If we lost them we'd lose our house too probably.
Any advice please help :(
