We are RICS registered, therefore if a RICS survey identifies that the property has Japanese knotweed, a Japanese knotweed inspection from a company that will confirm if the weed is in fact Japanese knotweed and put together a plan to remove the knotweed and provide costings for the removal is recommended.
What is Japanese Knotweed?
Japanese Knotweed was originally brought to the UK by the Victorians, as an ornamental plant. In fact, they believed it could strengthen structures! However, little did they know that the weed is known more commonly for quite the opposite. Such as exposing weaknesses in concrete, tarmac and foundations. As such having Japanese Knotweed on your property can significantly decrease the value of your home.
But don’t worry we are here to help. As a Japanese Knotweed Surveyor we can establish the extent of your Japanese Knotweed infestation and provide you with a 10 year insurance backed management plan to ensure it’s eradication.
