Why Japanese Knotweed Surveys Are Important

Japanese knotweed is one of the most invasive plants in the United Kingdom.

The plant spreads through underground rhizomes.
Even very small fragments can regrow and create new infestations.

Without treatment, Japanese knotweed can:

Spread rapidly across gardens and neighbouring land.
Damage to paving, drainage systems, and weak structures
Affect property sales and mortgage applications.
Reduce property value

Therefore, early identification and professional management are essential.

Selling a Property with Japanese Knotweed

If you sell a property in the UK with Japanese knotweed, you must disclose it.

The information appears on the TA6 Property Information Form during the conveyancing process.

Sellers should:

Inform their solicitor and estate agent.
Provide a professional treatment plan.
Check mortgage lender requirements.
Understand the potential impact on property value.
Consider an insurance-backed guarantee.

Many mortgage lenders accept properties with knotweed when a professional treatment plan is in place.

Buying a Property with Japanese Knotweed

Buyers should conduct thorough checks before purchasing a property affected by Japanese knotweed.

Important steps include:

Confirming that the seller disclosed the infestation
Reviewing any existing treatment plan
Informing your solicitor and surveyor
Checking requirements with your mortgage lender
Arranging a specialist knotweed survey

A professional survey confirms the extent of the infestation and recommends the best treatment approach.
