Property survey showed these risks, what do you think?!?

Should I be worried?

Second time buyer and our current property didn't have this.
Thanks

All the surveyor has done done is seen a very old house and covered himself for all possibilities. 🙄

You may wish to ask the buyer to correct these issues and provide proof or decide what it will cost you to rectify any problems and negotiate a reduction in the price. That would be normal practice.

Either there is Japanese knotweed or there isn't.

Any surveyor worth their salt would have been able to spot it a mile off, but all the report says is that the area is overgrown and it is outside the scope of the report to identify them all, but Japanese knotweed could be there. What a monstrous load of bilge. As for the trees, the house has been there a very long time, and presumably so have the trees, yet there is no evidence of any issues with them.

That report is the biggest load of arse-covering cobblers I have read in a very long time.

I’m a surveyor. That is the most rubbish and basic survey I’ve seen. Get someone competent to do one.

Well, you can't reasonably ask the buyer to correct something that is only an imaginary issue that the surveyor has actually seen zero evidence of.
