The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) has this week published new draft guidance for the assessment of Japanese knotweed on UK properties, which is now under consultation. This means surveyors and other property professionals will have the opportunity to comment and potentially amend the guidance ahead of its final publication later this year.

So, what are the main changes?

The 28th May 2021 represents a significant milestone in the history of Environet, being 25 years to the day since we started operating as a one-man band from my attic! We’ve come a long way since then and it’s been quite a journey to where we are today, in a 6,000 square foot Head Office with a dedicated team of 21 staff who now own 100% of the business and directly benefit from its growth and success.

Have you ever wondered if you live in a Japanese knotweed hotspot? Each year, we mine data from Exposed, our online Japanese knotweed heat map which is populated with over 53,000 known infestations, to identify the worst-affected locations.
