  • update on the flat we had an offer accepted on

    knotweed has been found on the property and the lender has said they need proof that a 5 year plan is in place before they'll lend to us

    the current owner appears to be claiming she had no idea it was there and has no intention of doing anything about it...we're not sure if she quite realises that nobody will be able to get a mortgage to buy her flat unless she does.

    Bit of a nightmare.

  • Hi. I was in similar situation. Knotweed is such bullshit, banks need to get a grip. Treatment will be about 1k iirc, tell her to crack on or it’ll never sell (except to a cash buyer obvs).
