A No-Knotweed Report is a legal document that states that a property is not infected with Japanese knotweed.
A qualified surveyor will write a no-knotweed report, in line with the RICS guidelines.
The report states that a site visit has been carried out on the property and no Japanese knotweed has been found.
Your report will also include; Photographic Evidence, a detailed list of weeds present on the property with photo attachments, we will survey al external areas of the property and an additional 7m from the boundary as required by RICs. Yo will then be able to raise a mortgage against the property.
If a surveyor has mis-identified Japanese knotweed or said that there was a plant that resembled Japanese knotweed, you will need a qualified surveyor to carry out a survey on the property to prove the plant is not Japanese knotweed. A mortgage lender may require this report to enable them to lend against the property. It will also identify any other invasive weeds that look similar to Japanese knotweed that have been mis-identified by a surveyor as Japanese knotweed. Also, you can use a no-knotweed report as evidence in legal disputes when someone wrongly claims the Japanese knotweed has encroached from your property.
