Important Information for Homebuyers:

When conducting a standard conveyancing survey, most surveyors typically do not inspect garden areas for Japanese Knotweed. If a surveyor notices large amounts of green shrubs or trees around the property, they recommend bringing in a specialist Japanese Knotweed surveyor to ensure a thorough investigation.

Notably, 95% of surveys reveal that no Japanese Knotweed is present, giving you peace of mind. However, having a dedicated Japanese Knotweed survey can help you avoid costly surprises and ensure the property is free from this invasive plant.

As experts in identifying and managing Japanese Knotweed, we provide detailed surveys to protect your investment.

Understanding Japanese Knotweed and Seeking Professional Advice

While Japanese Knotweed is known for its rapid growth, it typically does not spread extensively within a single season. If you notice it in your garden, there’s no need for immediate alarm—it won’t quickly overrun your property or cause significant damage right away.

However, if you require expert guidance on the steps needed to address Japanese Knotweed, particularly when it comes to mortgage lender requirements, we’re here to help.

Japanese Knotweed Laws & Mortgage Lender Requirements

Japanese Knotweed is classified as a controlled plant under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. This means it is illegal to cause it to spread in the wild. Property sellers must disclose its presence under the TA6 Property Information Form, as failure to do so can impact property transactions.

Many mortgage lenders require a professional Japanese Knotweed survey and an approved knotweed treatment plan before they will approve loans for affected properties. At Japanese Knotweed Plus, we offer mortgage-compliant solutions, ensuring smooth property transactions.

The History of Japanese Knotweed & Its Spread in Manchester, the Northwest & Birmingham

Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia japonica) was first introduced to the UK in the 19th century as an ornamental plant. However, its aggressive growth and invasive nature soon became a serious issue, particularly in urban areas. Over time, it has spread extensively across cities like Manchester, Birmingham, and throughout the Northwest, thriving in disturbed soil and transport corridors such as railway embankments and riverbanks.

Due to its deep and resilient root system, Japanese Knotweed removal requires specialist treatment. Left untreated, it can cause structural damage to buildings, reduce property values, and make mortgage approvals difficult. Homeowners and property developers often struggle with its rapid spread, making professional knotweed treatment essential.

At Japanese Knotweed Plus, we offer a free survey to assess the extent of the infestation and recommend the most effective treatment plan. Our Japanese Knotweed treatment programs include professional herbicide treatments and a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee for peace of mind.

Mary, Worsley, Greater Manchester

I would like to thank Stephen and Igor for their prompt reply to my question. I had been told that I had Japanese Knotweed in my garden and rang them in quite a state! I was told to email them a photo of the offending plant and almost immediately I received a reply saying that in fact, it was not J K.

I am so grateful to them for putting my mind at rest so quickly. A brilliant service.

Jane, Bingley, West Yorkshire

We would highly recommend Stephen and Japanese Knotweed Plus Ltd to anyone struggling with this invasive weed. We found them to be very knowledgeable and put us at ease providing all the information we need. They were reliable, always on time and kept us informed by phone and e-mailed a copy of the treatment plan including updates after each visit so we knew how well the treatment is going.

Chris, Oldham, Greater Manchester

I cannot thank them enough for their speed, professionalism and support taking care of something which could have been so distressing to us.

Not only have they completely satisfied ours and our buyers’ needs, they also ensured that we had a 10-year guarantee for the continued treatment of the works to ensure that everyone was comfortable with the future.

Emma & Marco, Moston, Greater Manchester

I inherited a house, the estate agent said it would be easy to sell. First buyers loved it had it surveyed and found Japanese Knotweed. That was the start of my nightmare. They couldn’t get a mortgage. Two more buyers and still the same, no bank or building society would entertain it. I was given the phone number of Japanese Knotweed Plus Ltd. They came to see the property and explained everything to me. Reassured me as I was beginning to think I would never sell the house.

They came up with a management plan and as a result, I have finally sold the house. They have been brilliant, really nice guys, never pushy I would definitely recommend this company to everyone. Japanese Knotweed is an awful thing to have people don’t realise how bad it is. I am so glad this company came to my rescue.

Janet, Atherton, Greater Manchester

Thank you so much, Stephen, you are a true gent! I will be recommending your company on local forums for weeks to come! Thanks again.

Julie, Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester

Thank you so much for your expert knowledge, your ability to provide clear and understandable guidance and continued help and assistance whilst ascertaining the identity of my garden plant. I am extremely grateful for your patience and your time whilst helping me with this.

The conversation you had with the man from the council has confirmed the true identity of my plant to be Angelica and the council are in the process of writing to me to confirm this. The man from the council also commented on how understanding, patient and knowledgeable you were.

I would highly recommend your company and service.
