For Morgage Lenders
To stand any chance of getting a mortgage on residential property infested with Japanese Knotweed you will need to have a Japanese Knotweed Management Plan. This consists of a full survey, risk assessment, method statement, and treatment schedule. Most mortgage lenders will need to see an ongoing herbiciidal treatment schedule over 5 years. Unfortunately, the process is not cheap but we believe we offer one of the most cost-effective services in London.
