Solicitors have sent a report on a new build; it's on a housing estate that used to be just scrubland, and an area around 12 houses away from my plot, on next street, has Japanese Knot Weed. There's a report on it in the papers they've sent saying it's under control but should I still be worried? How close is too close or is that considered far enough not to be an issue? I think there's an HM Gov guideline saying that 7 metres is ok, apparently that won't affect any mortgage. Solicitors want £150+ VAT to do "something" concerning it, not sure what, they say its highly specialist work ... (must be about 5 minutes work for £150 then)
