Japanese Knotweed removal and advice by Local Chartered Surveyors and PCA members covering Mill Hill, NW7 and the surrounding areas.

Interesting fact about Mill Hill … The lexicographer James Murray started work on the first Oxford English Dictionary in 1879, whilst teaching at Mill Hill School. He had a building built in the school grounds to house the quotation slips and his small editorial staff. Murray called this building his scriptorium, when the project moved to Oxford the building was used by the school as a reading room.

Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) is a non-native, harmful species of plant. Since it was introduced into the UK as a pretty garden plant in the mid-nineteenth century, it has spread across the UK, especially along watercourses, transport routes and waste areas.

Most of the UK major lenders will refuse to lend against a property if their surveyor identifies Japanese knotweed at a property you are buying, selling or even re-mortgaging, especially when located within seven metres of the property.

Although requirements will change/differ from lender to lender in the UK, in practice, lenders will usually request a commitment by the owner/purchaser of the property to fund in advance the treatment programme along with a 10 year insurance backed guarantee.

We have Chartered Surveyors (full members of the RICS) and Panel Valuation Surveyors in house working for most of the UK major lenders. This makes us perfectly placed to deal and act upon the lenders individual needed things to make sure they lend against the property, providing piece of mind.
