Lender concerns

Review whether the spray foam has created mortgage, remortgage or valuation difficulties.

Survey evidence

Organise survey reports, lender replies and broker correspondence.

Sales process review

Check whether lending risks were properly explained before installation.

Mortgage and remortgage issues

Spray foam can become a problem when the property is assessed by lenders

Some homeowners only discover the issue when they try to sell, remortgage or release equity. A surveyor or lender may raise concerns because spray foam can make roof inspection harder or create uncertainty around ventilation and timber condition.

That does not automatically mean every installation was mis-sold, but if the mortgage risk was not explained before installation, it may be worth reviewing the paperwork and sales process.

Quaerens can help organise the evidence and check whether your spray foam situation is suitable for further assessment.

Correspondence showing mortgage refusal, restrictions or extra requirements can be important.
