The Kensal Green home is claimed to have lost value due to knotweed
(Picture: Champion News)A businessman and his partner are locked in a bitter fight with their neighbours over “rampant” Japanese knotweed they say has infested the foundations of their £1.6 million house.
Christopher Clarke believes his home in Kensal Green has been devalued by 15 per cent thanks to the notoriously invasive plant getting out of control on his neighbours’ land, claiming it is “leaning over” his fence so thickly that he could not open his back door properly.
