Problems Created By Knotweed

 

Problems with selling or remortgaging your house – most mortgage lenders will not lend on properties with Japanese knotweed, or where Japanese knotweed has been identified nearby, usually within 7 metres of the property. There is also significant stigma associated with Japanese knotweed which often makes potential purchasers unwilling to buy property that is, or has been, affected by Japanese knotweed.

Damage to your house – the plant’s invasive root system and strong growth can damage concrete foundations, buildings, roads, paving and retaining walls.

Potential liability – if the Japanese knotweed spreads from your property to another, the owner of that property could be entitled to damages from you.

How Can We Help You?

Your Japanese knotweed lawyers can help claim to recover the cost of:

  • the treatment/eradication of Japanese knotweed and associated guarantee;
  • any diminution of value the property has suffered as a result of Japanese knotweed; and
  • any consequential losses.

Given our specialist experience we can also assist if your property is the source of the knotweed and deal with any potential claims against you.

We also defend claims brought against you as a seller, developer, solicitor or surveyor.
