It's along long time since I looked at it but NHBRC guarantees against
poor quality building. I don't think it covers damage due to plants

Well I'm wondering why there isn't an NHBC guarantee that I thought
has been mandatory on all new builds for the last 20 odd years, if
not longer. The property looks very new.

So I'm thinking that knotweed has got inside because the construction
is dodgey, hence no NHBC, but a good few £k knocked off the price...

Only mandatory if the builder is registered with the National House
Builders Council AIUI.
