  1. How Spray Foam Insulation Affects Property Sales and Mortgages! Spray foam insulation may improve energy efficiency, but it has also caused complications for homeowners trying to sell or refinance their properties. Increasingly, mortgage lenders in the UK are refusing applications for homes with spray foam insulation in the loft or roof space. Why? Spray foam often covers the timber rafters, making it impossible for surveyors to properly inspect the roof structure. Lenders worry about hidden timber rot, damp, or structural damage, which could lead to costly repairs after purchase. This has made it difficult for homeowners to get a mortgage or sell their property without first removing the spray foam. The solution is to hire a spray foam insulation removal expert who can safely strip away the foam and allow a full timber survey. Professional removal also involves cleaning and checking the area for signs of mould or rot. Once the foam is gone, you can choose breathable insulation materials that won’t trap moisture and will meet lender standards. If you’re planning to sell or refinance soon, it’s wise to address spray foam insulation early. Removal can improve your chances of getting mortgage approval and speed up the sale process. Don’t let spray foam become a roadblock in your property transaction. Consult a specialist early to protect your home’s value and financial options.
