Residents of Burslem have been struggling with Japanese Knotweed for many years, and recently we got a call from a client who was trying to sell her home but was proving impossible due to the presence of the Knotweed. Is removal of Japanese Knotweed in Burslem possible? What can you do if you have Japanese Knotweed growing on your grounds?

For a house sale to go through, the mortgage lender will require two documents:

1. Japanese Knotweed Site Survey Report
2. Japanese Knotweed Management Plan

These two documents will hold pieces of information that they will require when deciding if a property has the correct security in going ahead. Our documents include the following:

• Site plan
• RICS Assessment
• Japanese Knotweed origin
• If the Japanese Knotweed has caused any structural damage
• Risk assessment
• Breakdown of costs involved for the remedial works
• The treatment process
• How many years the Japanese Knotweed has been established for
•  

This is all-important information, especially when trying to sell or mortgage a property. It ensures the safe efficient removal of Japanese Knotweed.
