Indeed. It will need a look of work and expense to remove the knotweed and  
prevent reinfestation, but demolishing the house is ridiculous.
I do feel sorry for them though because the history will stay with the  
house and may affect the resale value.

Particularly as they seem to have cashed in and, presumably, taken
some money from the Snail to publish their story to  every estate
agent, mortgage lender and wotnot.
