A furniture designer who bought his £700,000 dream home only to find Japanese knotweed lurking behind the garden shed has successfully sued the seller.
Jonathan Downing bought his three-bedroom house in affluent Raynes Park, in south west London, from chartered accountant Jeremy Henderson in August 2018.
Mr Downing, 30, who trained at the world-renowned Chippendale International School of Furniture, planned to make his home in the Edwardian terrace, as well as building a workshop in the garden, reports the Mirror.
