Surveyors & Spray Foam Insulation | UK Property Survey Problems Explained
When a surveyor identifies spray foam insulation in a loft, it can significantly impact a property transaction.
What surveyors assess
Surveyors look at:
Roof timber condition
Signs of trapped moisture
Ventilation in the loft space
Structural accessibility
Spray foam can make these checks more difficult.
Common survey outcomes
If spray foam is present, a survey may:
Flag the property as higher risk
Request further specialist reports
Delay mortgage approval
Impact on buyers and sellers
This can lead to:
Renegotiation of price
Sale delays
In some cases, transaction collapse
