Why knotweed spreads in Berkshire
The Thames and Kennet corridors plus the Great Western main line spread knotweed throughout Berkshire. Transaction volumes in the Thames Valley are high, so most local instructions arrive late in a sale after a mortgage valuation has flagged the plant.
Main local pressure: Thames and Kennet corridors plus GWR embankments.
