New Ruling on Invasive Plant Species Changes the Conditions for Property Sales
News, Property law - 2025-07-04
Our partner Ebba Tapper writes today in DN Debatt about the risks posed by the invasive species Japanese knotweed for property owners.
In a recent Court of Appeal judgment, a very extensive duty of investigation has been imposed on the buyer, making it considerably more risky to purchase a property without thorough botanical knowledge. This new principle may, of course, also negatively impact property prices in areas where the plant is present.
