Japanese Knotweed Removal in Whetstone, N20

Japanese Knotweed removal and advice by Local Chartered Surveyors and PCA members covering Whetstone, N20 and the surrounding areas.

Interesting fact aboutWhetstone…… It is thought that Whetstone was named after the whetstone used to sharpen knives and other tools, a chunk of which is located on the High Road, on the pavement outside the Griffin. The High Road, the main road in the area, is the A1000 and part of the traditional Great North Road from London to Edinburgh.

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.
