Frequently asked questions
What is spray foam insulation?
Spray foam insulation is a form of insulating material that is initially applied in a liquid state and then expands to occupy the space where it's used. This type of insulation is frequently utilised in walls, attics, and various other locations that require insulation.
Why do mortgage lenders not like spray foam insulation?
Mortgage lenders are often hesitant, or outright unwilling, to approve loans on properties with spray foam insulation, especially when it has been applied to the underside of the roof. This is largely due to the growing number of cases where spray foam has contributed to hidden structural problems, valuation uncertainty, and difficulty in assessing the long-term condition of the property.
