Hi Kate

Mile a minute will cover it within the year and if you don't like it,
just cut it at the root and it will just die back. But I am sure that
the people who buy your flat will appreciate the privacy too!

They won't, however, appreciate the complete disappearance of the
pergola under a mass of vine a year or two later.
