Suspected Japanese Knotweed In London.
They had a surveyor from their mortgage company visit the site who had identified that Japanese Knotweed was present on site. This is where Japanese Knotweed Expert came in as they contacted us to visit the site, complete a site survey and produce a detailed quote to deal with the Japanese Knotweed outbreak.
Our qualified surveyor visited the site to complete the site survey, which was in line with the RICs house builder’s guidelines, “1st edition information paper, on, Japanese Knotweed and residential property,” “The PCA code of Practice” and The Environment Agency Code of Practice 2013. We not only surveyed the property but also the surrounding areas to locate the Japanese Knotweed.
Suspected Japanese Knotweed in London – Misidentified!
However, upon visiting the site we found that there was no Reynoutria japonica (Japanese Knotweed) present on-site or on the surrounding properties. Upon completing the site survey we informed the client and produced a report to confirm there was no presence of Japanese Knotweed on site.
This was very pleasing for our client, who was happy to be informed that the Japanese Knotweed had been misidentified. The plants that had been identified were Buddleia, Convolvulus and Clematis, which all have similar leaves to Japanese Knotweed. Therefore they could easily be mistaken for Japanese Knotweed.
