What Impact Does Japanese Knotweed Have on the Housing Market?

 

Surrey, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/17/2016 -- If you're looking to sell your house, or you are an Estate Agent trying to sell a particular property, Japanese knotweed can stop the house sale going through. Vendors are required by law to acknowledge and declare the presence of Japanese knotweed before a sale is completed. With the help of Japanese knotweed removal experts such as Environet UK Ltd, the house sale should be able to go through without a problem.

Environet are specialists in Japanese knotweed removal from both residential and commercial properties. The aggressively growing plant can cause significant structural damage if left to grow, even breaking through concrete. The plant is so resilient that it is not enough to remove just the above ground growth. The rhizome (root system) also needs to be removed, as this is how knotweed spreads.

Land owners and property vendors should be concerned with the presence of Japanese knotweed on their property, and Estate Agents must disclose its presence to potential buyers. Japanese knotweed is identifiable by its large, green leaves, white flowers and cane-like stems. Spotting it early can prevent damage, and allow the property sale to go through smoothly.

Nic Seal, MD of Environet, explained, "Japanese knotweed grows fast, at a speed of up to a metre in height in just three weeks, so it is it vital that if you've discovered it during a home buyers report or property survey that it is dealt with as soon as possible."

During the summer, Japanese knotweed can surface extremely quickly, where it may not have been noticeable before. This means that it must be dealt with as soon as possible with a reliable removal method. There are many Japanese knotweed removal methods that use chemicals and herbicide treatments, but the most reliable method to permanently eradicate knotweed is Environet's patented Xtractâ„¢ method. This guarantees the complete removal of Japanese knotweed, and prevents long-term recurrence.
