Japanese Knotweed Survey Report
A Japanese Knotweed Survey Report is a detailed document that determines whether Japanese knotweed is present on your property. The report typically includes an in-depth site survey, identification of knotweed infestations, an assessment of the risks posed to buildings and surrounding areas, and tailored recommendations for treatment and management. Whether you’re a homeowner, landowner, or involved in property transactions, this report is essential for addressing Japanese Knotweed, ensuring legal compliance, and preventing potential damage or devaluation of your property
Types of Japanese Knotweed Survey
- Homeowner Survey – A pre-purchase or pre-sale survey to understand the level of infestation. A Knotweed Management Plan (KMP) is mandatory for most mortgage lenders and it is a requirement of the Environment Agency where Japanese knotweed is present on a development site.
- Commercial Survey – Working with construction companies, developers, the Environment Agency, and the local council, we thoroughly assess the extent of Japanese knotweed on non-residential sites. The survey includes a KMP to remedy the problem quickly and efficiently, and within full compliance with the law. A commercial survey is essential to prevent project delays and disruptions.
- Referred Survey – A survey requested by estate agents, solicitors and property management companies to provide clear knowledge regarding Japanese knotweed in a particular area or building.
