Family's garden in Plymouth turns into £4,000 bamboo nightmare; sellers not required to disclose bamboo infestation.
A family's dream garden in Plymouth turned into a nightmare due to invasive bamboo that spread uncontrollably, costing them £4,000 to address. Homebuyers are advised to inspect properties for bamboo infestations, as sellers are not legally required to disclose its presence, unlike Japanese knotweed. Environet warns that many homeowners may unknowingly inherit this issue, urging buyers to insist on remediation or price renegotiation if bamboo is found.
