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.
