Japanese knotweed on your property?
Whether it spread from a neighbouring site or was concealed when you bought, knotweed damages both your property and its value — and you may be able to claim.
Do I have a claim?
You may be able to claim if:
- Japanese knotweed is present on, or has spread onto, your property
- It came from neighbouring land, or was not disclosed when you purchased
- You have incurred treatment costs, or your property has fallen in value
- You discovered the problem within the last six years

Japanese Knotweed Claims
Japanese knotweed is invasive, fast-growing and extremely difficult to eradicate. Its practical impact is financial as much as physical: lenders are cautious about affected properties, buyers negotiate hard, and the stigma depresses value even after successful treatment.
There are two routes to a claim. If knotweed encroached from adjoining land, the owner may be liable in private nuisance for allowing it to spread. If it was present when you bought and the seller answered the property information form inaccurately, you may have a claim for misrepresentation.
