Japanese knotweed: do you have a claim?

Question 1

This is general information, not legal advice. Knotweed claims turn on survey evidence, the source and history of the infestation and (where you bought the property) what the seller was asked and answered, so this tool only helps you see which route may fit. To understand your position, speak to a solicitor. Robertsons Solicitors is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA No. 625915).
