My house had a very small outbreak of Japanese Knotweed in 2014. I immediately had it treated by a specialist company and the treatment program is paid for (there have been no further outbreaks of knotweed), as is recommended, up until 2020. At that point the guarantee kicks in which ensures that the property will be free of knotweed until 2030. Most mortgage lenders have no issue with this but buyers have been scared off. Property is priced very reasonably for the area and I'm prepared to be even more flexible. What else can I do? What would persuade you to buy a house that previously had knotweed but is guaranteed not for another 14 years?
