The destructive and invasive nature of Knotweed means it can cause serious damage to your home if left undetected and untreated. Any identification of Knotweed should not be ignored and needs to be controlled or removed as soon as possible.
What it means for your mortgage
If you’re looking to buy a new property and applying for a mortgage, it’s important to remember to check that the new house does not have, or is not at risk of, any Knotweed problems.
Most UK residential mortgage lenders are unwilling to lend on properties that are affected by Knotweed but some are happy to consider applications on a case-by-case basis. The latter is only possible once remediation solutions have been implemented and lenders are likely to want to see evidence that you’re willing to fund a long-term solution programme to control or remove the Knotweed. They will also want to see that you’re working with an approved and recognised professional to sort out the problem; that’s where we come in.
