Although it’s not against the law to have Japanese knotweed on your property, this doesn’t mean you should ignore it. Here are the main reasons why you should tackle knotweed growing on your land.
Knotweed will make it more difficult to sell an affected property, impacting its value by up to 10%. Half of would-be buyers will walk away from a property known to be infested with knotweed. Sellers are required by law to disclose the presence of knotweed – if they don’t, they risk an expensive misrepresentation claim in the courts.
Knotweed is programmed to grow, its underground rhizome system extending year on year, infesting more ground. It’s a problem that simply won’t go away on its own, so the sooner it’s tackled the better.
Knotweed does not respect property boundaries and those who allow it to spread also diminish the value of their neighbour’s property. This can lead to neighbour disputes and costly civil claims under private nuisance legislation.
Knotweed can and does cause damage to property. Perhaps not as bad as some might make you believe, but don’t under-estimate the damage the plant can wreak.
Knotweed and building or landscaping projects don’t mix! If you want to add that conservatory, summer house or home office pod to the garden, tackle the Japanese knotweed first.
And for those who are still not convinced, be aware that an injunction or Community Protection Notice, otherwise known as an ASBO, can force people to act to remove knotweed from their property.
