So how do you deal with this in an efficient manner that will not affect the sale of the property?

If Japanese knotweed is suspected to be present on site, it is imperative that a site survey is organised as soon as possible to provide definitive answers for you and your client. At Japanese Knotweed Expert, we aim to complete the site survey within 48 hours of the first contact.

 

Our expert surveyor will survey the site and surrounding area as per RICs and TA6 (Property Information Form) guidelines, providing all the necessary paperwork so the buyer and seller can make an informed decision. This paperwork will also help to ensure that a mortgage is approved by the lender, allowing the sale of the property to proceed without delay.

How can we help?

By having a site survey completed, ensuring that the recommended management plan has been implemented

and that a 10-year insurance backed guarantee is in place, you are:

  • Minimising delays.
  • Providing the most efficient and helpful service to your client.
  • Continuing to maximise the value of the property.

If you are an estate agent, please get in touch so we can ensure the successful sale of a property despite the presence of Japanese knotweed.
