How to get rid of weeds
MOVING house can be one of the most stressful things you can do, but one thing guaranteed to send your anxiety through the roof is Japanese knotweed.Depending on when you identify the knotweed, it can cost anywhere from a few hundred pounds to £15,000 to get rid of.
“Waste material from these plants will also be classed as ‘controlled waste’ meaning you must dispose of them at a permitted waste site.”Sellers are legally required to declare the presence of knotweed on their property when completing the TA6 form, which is a standard part of the conveyancing process.
Seal added: “I’d urge anyone selling a home that’s affected by knotweed to be up front from the start and ensure a proper treatment plan is in place with an insurance-backed guarantee.The bad news is that you’ll typically need to reduce the price by up to 15%, as getting rid of Japanese Knotweed can be a costly process.
They can burrow up to 3 metres under ground causing damage to buildings and break easily, so can be hard to remove completely. If knotweed is present, your mortgage lender will likely require a professional treatment plan to be put in place with an insurance-backed guarantee.
