Survey concerns
Survey problems often turn spray foam into a financial issue
Spray foam may not become a visible issue until a professional survey is carried out. The report may raise concerns about roof timbers, ventilation, inspection limits or future marketability.
If the survey affects the sale, valuation or mortgage position, the homeowner may be left with unexpected costs or a property that is harder to move on.
A careful review should look at what the installer promised, what the surveyor found and whether the risks were explained before the installation.
Survey problem recovery routes
Where can losses from a spray foam survey problem be explored?
A survey problem may lead to more than one type of loss: sale delays, reduced buyer confidence, extra inspection costs, removal quotes or mortgage restrictions.
Installer or sales route
Relevant where survey and resale risks were not explained before the spray foam was fitted.
Finance or payment route
Useful where the installation was funded through finance or card payments and the product was misrepresented.
Property loss evidence
Buyer emails, agent notes, valuation comments and survey reports help show the impact on the property.
Quaerens can issue a free, no-obligation assessment report setting out what compensation may be realistic and which routes can be reviewed.
