Can you treat Japanese Knotweed yourself? We would highly recommend that you DO NOT carry out DIY treatment of Japanese Knotweed! Why? New growth of Japanese Knotweed can be caused by the smallest piece of rhizome, about fingernail size. It is also illegal to fly-tip it and you are not allowed to dispose of it in your green waste bin. The disposal of Japanese Knotweed is very controlled to ensure further growth does not occur.

If you are in the process of selling or buying a property, mortgage lenders will require a certified company with the necessary qualifications and documentation to show that the Japanese Knotweed is being treated. Unless this is shown they may decline the mortgage.

We can provide you with a site survey and management plan, both of which are recognised by mortgage companies. The site survey outlines the location of the Japanese Knotweed, the risks to the site and any recommendations.

Along with these documentations, many lenders will look for a 10-year insurance backed guarantee on any eradication work carried out on the Japanese Knotweed.
