      What Are the Legal Points to Remember?

      Since 2013, a seller of a property or land is legally bound to report if Japanese Knotweed is present on the property. This is done through a TA6 form.

      As a seller it is your responsibility to check if you have an infestation of Japanese Knotweed. A  conveyancer and or solicitor can provide all your legal advice, however, you will be asked to provide evidence of a treatment programme, management plan and insurance backed guarantee, which is where Clearsafe Knotweed comes in.

      As a buyer if there is evidence of a Japanese Knotweed infestation on a property you are buying, a mortgage company is highly likely to only agree/release funds once a company like Clearsafe Knotweed has been in; investigated and treated the problem and issued an insurance backed guarantee.

      Japanese Knotweed is a (controlled waste) and can only be disposed of at certain licenced landfill sites. This falls under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

      It is an offence to ‘intentionally or recklessly’ spread Japanese Knotweed.

      Dai Legge

      Contractor

      James understands the construction industry because he’s been one of us; his training service is particularly effective in getting site teams to understand the risks and controls and what they actually need to do onsite. Where time and ‘thinking outside of the box’ is often a critical factor, Clearsafe have proven time and again to be valuable assets and have become our only Knotweed contractor.

      Dan Madge

      Developer

      Having used various Knotweed contractors in the course of my career, using Clearsafe Knotweed to produce and implement treatment plans has been an absolute blessing. They’re really flexible and knowledgeable, especially around the planning and development process. Now that they can offer insurance backed guarantees, we will only use their services more and more

      Sam Hawking

      Conveyancing Solicitor

      During my client’s sale, the survey picked up on Japanese knotweed on the boundary of the property, this threatened the sale. We contacted Clearsafe Knotweed and they came out to survey within 24 hours. Happy with the quote and service my client went ahead with the management plan. That was two years ago and there has been no come-back. I would recommend Clearsafe without hesitation.

      Louise Williams

      House Seller

      The Clearsafe boys were reassuringly positive from the start and put us at ease when we were worried about the effect of the infestation on our sale. After the initial survey, they produced a clear report in no time and it was accepted by our mortgage company. We didn’t hesitate to engage Clearsafe to tackle our Japanese Knotweed, a decision well-made we would say. Progress has been amazing and the willingness of the lads to take time to engage with our neighbours to put them at ease was an extra bonus.

      Gareth & Kelly Morgan

      House Buyer

      Clearsafe came out quickly and produced a really detailed report overnight which allowed me to get my mortgage at first, then re-plan my garden renovation to avoid spreading the Knotweed, we definitely dodged a bullet there! They have executed the management plan to the letter and there’s been no disruption to our lives or our DIY renovation.

      Kim

      House Buyer

      We knew we didn’t have any Knotweed but our lender forced us to pay for a survey, Clearsafe came out quickly and quoted a fair price, then quickly produced a report that was accepted immediately by the mortgage lender.

      Chris Thomas

      Estate Agent

      We instructed Clearsafe to survey a client’s property on behalf of a purchaser who needed to obtain a mortgage with Japanese Knotweed growing on neighbouring land. Clearsafe took the time to visit the same day and provided a report within 24 hours. The purchaser was extremely satisfied with Clearsafe’s efficient manner and the costs were very competitive. As an estate agent, this service is invaluable and we would not hesitate to recommend Clearsafe- Keep up the good work!

      Estate Agent

      As Estate Agents we are looking to get work done efficiently & quickly. James & Clearsafe company embody this. One quick phone call & he went there the same day for a quote. Spoke to the vendors directly & the work was done just as quick. We are extremely impressed & plan to use this company again. It was very easy from start to finish; the vendors were also just as impressed.
