It is not illegal to have it on your land, it is only illegal to dispose of it incorrectly or allow it to spread onto someone else's land. So you will not be able to force the council to do anything unless you could prove it spreads into your garden. Get a survey done by one of the many specialists. If it's found on your property it is relatively straight forward to get a management plan in place to treat it and then also get a 10 year insurance backed guarantee (that guarantee costs money but combined with the management plan should make mortgage lenders happy).

Anyone had any dealings with Japanese knotweed?
In the process of buying with (a small amount of) knotweed on an adjacent (council owned) property. adjacent property is at the end of the garden (40m) and across a road.
Will sue the council as soon as we are in to force removal. Anyone done it?
Thanks in advance
