If this did happen, it would usually mean that your property would be devalued (diminution), due to the Japanese knotweed being present on your land. It would also cost a lot of money to have it properly removed.
This could mean that you need to to take your Japanese Knotweed Claim to court, and if you do, you will need expert evidence to prove your case, and this is the purpose of the Japanese Knotweed Expert Report.

Japanese knotweed is a very invasive weed that spreads rapidly and is extremely difficult to eradicate. Originating in Japan, the Knotweed is a strong, clump-forming perennial, listed in the top 100 most invasive plants in the world. Its total eradication is very important due to its capability to displace native species, and its ability to grow through tarmac, brick walls and inside pipes, potentially causing extensive damage to property.
If your property has been encroached by this fast growing invasive weed, then you may have a claim for compensation. If you do, then a Japanese Knotweed expert report will be an essential part of your claim.
