Japanese Knotweed Removal in Charlton, SE7

Japanese Knotweed removal and advice by Local Chartered Surveyors and PCA members covering Charlton, SE7 and the surrounding areas.

Interesting fact about Charlton… Between 1607 and 1612, Sir Adam Newton, tutor to Prince Henry, eldest son of James I, had a new manor house, Charlton House, built in the village. The Jacobean mansion by architect John Thorpe was never used by the prince, who died in 1612. On the northern edge of the house’s garden is a mulberry tree planted in 1608 by order of King James in an effort to cultivate silkworms.The estates surrounding Charlton House were gradually broken up, and once the Maryon-Wilson family died out in 1925, the surviving open spaces were converted into public parks, two of which bear the family name. The house itself became the property of the local authority (currently the Royal Borough of Greenwich) and is used as a library and community centre.

The majority of the UK major lenders will refuse to lend against a property if their surveyor identifies Japanese knotweed at a property you are purchasing, selling or even re-mortgaging, especially if it is located within seven metres of a habitable space. This is due to the aggressive nature of the plant and potential damage it can cause to the building, consequently severely affecting the value of the property.

Although conditions will vary from lender to lender, in practice lenders will generally want to see evidence of an initial treatment and a commitment by the owner/purchaser of the property to fund in advance the treatment programme along with a 5-10 year insurance backed guarantee.

With Chartered Surveyors (full members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) and Valuation Surveyors in house currently working directly for the majority of the UK major lenders, we are perfectly placed to deal and act upon their individual requirements to ensure they are able to lend against the property.
