Japanese Knotweed Removal in Hampshire
With Hampshire being such a highly developed area, effective Japanese knotweed removal is crucial. This invasive plant, also known as Fallopia japonica, can cause significant damage to buildings, roads, and other structures if left untreated. Its rapid growth and extensive root system can cause subsidence, cracks in walls and foundations, and damage to pipes and drainage systems.
What our customers say
Our accreditations
Does Hampshire City Council Remove Japanese Knotweed?
Hampshire City Council is not obliged to remove Japanese knotweed from private properties, as it is the responsibility of the property owner to deal with the issue. However, if the Japanese knotweed is growing on public land or land owned by Hampshire Council, then it is the council’s responsibility to take action and remove it.
Can I Remove Japanese Knotweed Myself?
It is not recommended to remove Japanese knotweed yourself, as it can be a difficult and potentially dangerous task. Japanese knotweed has a strong root system that can extend deep underground and spread rapidly, making it difficult to fully remove.
Cutting or digging up the plant can cause the rhizomes to spread even further. DIY removal can also result in incomplete removal of the plant, which can lead to regrowth and potential legal issues in the future.
Can I Buy a House in Hampshire with Japanese Knotweed?
Buying a property in Hampshire with Japanese knotweed can come with risks and potential costs. The plant can damage buildings and decrease property values, and removal can be costly and time-consuming.
It’s important to have a Japanese knotweed survey to get an estimate for removal costs before purchasing a property with Japanese knotweed. Some mortgage lenders may be hesitant to lend on properties with the plant. Ultimately, it’s important to carefully consider the risks and potential costs before making a decision.
Do I Have to Report Japanese Knotweed in Hampshire?
While there is no legal requirement to report Japanese knotweed in Hampshire, it’s highly recommended to do so. Reporting the presence of the invasive plant can help prevent its spread, protect property values, and ensure appropriate action is taken to manage and control it. It’s also a legal obligation to disclose the presence when selling a house with Japanese knotweed.
