Is this Japanese Knotweed
Hi all,
I'm buying a new build property and am aware that Japanese Knotweed was cleared from the site before the houses were built (excavation and burial)
I visited the property today and spotted these weeds growing in the area where the Japanese Knotweed was present and removed.
I can't quite tell if this is indeed Knotweed or just a normal weed - can anyone advise before I make it a big issue with the developer?
I have looked at pictures of Knotweed online but as it's only March I'm not sure what it would usually look like at this time of year.

JKW leaves are not as shiny, and they have a thick mottled red stem.
Personally I would ensure you have watertight insurance backed guaranter that fully covers you for ongoing costs of destroying and eradication of JKW
