Understanding the challenges of Japanese Knotweed

Japanese knotweed spreads rapidly due to its complex rhizome system, which can run 1.5 meters deep and 3 meters wide. The perennial plant can exert pressure on tough services and weaken properties, which can reduce a property’s value and make it difficult to obtain a mortgage.

Most lenders are reluctant to provide loans to properties with knotweed, even if it is on neighboring land and the property is at risk of contamination. With our professional advice, we can help you face these challenges, and together we can overcome any hurdles.

How to spot Japanese knotweed in Hampshire

Japanese knotweed is prevalent across Hampshire, distinguished by its green bamboo-like stems, which are speckled with pink-red dots. Its leaves are flat at the base and shield-shaped, with a pointed tip and light green in colour, while its thick roots exhibit an orange-yellow hue.

Usually growing in clumps, Japanese knotweed shoots to heights of up to 3 meters. It reaches its peak during the summer months, and blooms with creamy-white flowers from August to October. It dies back to ground level during winter, leaving tall brown canes from dead plants. Although the plant enters its dormancy phase, the regenerative rhizomes ensure renewed growth the following year.
