I have read that Bamboo can take over your property over night. Pictures to come soon
I read an article many years ago (I believe it was in one of the very first issues of Fine Gardening magazine) that showed how someone had used a trenching machine to create a slim, but deep trench that defined the border of the bamboo planting. In this trench, he inserted galvanized sheet metal and backfilled. The sheet metal will not last forever, of course. But perhaps it can do the job until you sell!
Sounds like you intend to plant it anyway regardless of what advice against it was given.
Nothing wrong with that of course, but let us know how it goes.
