That'll have a massive root network underneath.
Personally, having been in his shoes, I'd run a mile from that.

I wouldn't touch that.
Its behind the rear fence.
Yes but I bet the roots are already in his land, that's a big plant - You just don't know.
He may be fine for a few years then have shoots popping up through the concrete at the rear of his garden - it does penetrate concrete.
Google images says otherwise.Only through 'cracks' in concrete. Not through uncracked concrete!
Cant read the red writing!
It cant grow through solid, un cracked concrete!
Friend has decided not to go through with purchase now.

In pic1 everything green apart from the background trees looks like Knotweed. In pic2 it looks to be growing along the fence line up his neighbours garden.

While a management plan will knock down what pops up in his garden it just looks like a problem that will only get worse unless the neighbouring landowners make a concerted effort. I hope the price your friend paid reflects the fact that his future sale could be impacted.
Massive amounts of scaremongering and misinformation related to Japanese knotweed. It's not nearly as much of an issue as many would have you believe
What compels you to wade into a thread and subject that you clearly know lonely enough about to be dangerous, and spout ******** that could lead to someone making a terrible mistake?
Educate yourself and read post 19 please.
I spoke to a long term landscape gardener yesterday who told me that there are much worse plants out there. Japanese knotweed has had the run of the press. Other plants that are just as bad if not worse!
