Japanese Knotweed Expert Witness Reports 

 

Mallard Wales Ltd have two long established and qualified surveyors with extensive experience in undertaking expert witness reports for court procedures.

 

It is well-known that Japanese Knotweed can result in properties suffering from considerable diminution in value. Often many mortgage lenders will not provide a mortgage advance on such properties due to the potential risk of structural damage, leaving the properties suitable only for cash purchasers. Properties can even be considered unmortgageable if Japanese knotweed is situated on adjoining land.

 

Consequently, potential claims have been made against adjoining landowners due to the presence of Japanese knotweed. In some cases, even the Guarantee systems are not bulletproof. 

 

Mallard Wales Limited Chartered Surveyors provide expert witness reports on the diminution of valuation because of Japanese knotweed and comment upon any possible structural issues this plant may have caused. If you wish to discuss further, then please contact Mr Jason Williams on 07974 838293.
