Invasive plant on property we are due to purchase

So, we put an offer in on a property last winter. Been to see it 4x since and got a survey. Turns out there’s a load of bamboo (much more than first met the eye) so commissioned a proper bamboo survey.
This revealed over 130sq m of bamboo of the running/spreading variety with significant spread into one neighbours garden and minor but definite spread to another neighbours garden. It’s over 20m from any property thankfully.
quote well into a 5 figure sum for killing it with herbicide (all gardens to prevent it respreading) and then removing it (our garden to be).
Wwyd? Try to renegotiate? Run?
Words of wisdom appreciated

@Mentalblip probably time to walk, or maybe run, from that property.
The vendor will continue to have problems selling but that’s their problem.

Time to walk if they won’t budge.
