Hello all. I’m 25 and I have just bought a house on my own. I had a gardener pass by and take a look at my garden briefly this afternoon and he has pointed out that I have got Japanese knotweed in my garden. I have done a bit of research on this and it’s safe to say I am shitting myself a bit with how this is going to be managed and the money implications it is going to have on me.

The reason why I have come to this subreddit is because the previous owners of this house did not make me aware of this when going through the process of the house, nor did the survey. When I viewed the house months ago, I the brambles were very high and I’m not sure the knotweed would’ve been visible. However, the previous owners had a gardener in to cut the brambles and they have clearly cut back the knotweed. Is it worth me doing anything legally to make the previous owners liable for this? What should I do?!

I have done a bit of research on this and it’s safe to say I am shitting myself a bit with how this is going to be managed and the money implications it is going to have on me.

I don’t have much of an idea of what to do with this, or how much it is going to cost me. For context, the previous owners of this house had a gardener in to chop back some brambles, and it’s clear that they’ve chopped back some knotweed. Is it possible that I now find myself in a bit of a legal battle with the previous owners as this is going to cost a lot to manage.

If there is any tips you recommend I should do please let me know.
