Spray Foam Insulation and Hidden Risks You Need to Know:

Spray foam insulation, once promoted as an energy-efficient solution, has recently become a significant concern for UK homeowners due to its impact on property transactions and structural integrity. Major mortgage lenders have been declining applications for properties with spray foam insulation, citing difficulties in assessing roof conditions and potential risks of timber decay from trapped moisture. This has left many homeowners unable to sell or remortgage their properties without first removing the insulation, a process that can be both challenging and expensive. Furthermore, improper installation can lead to issues like damp and mould. Given these challenges, Homeowners are therefore advised to exercise caution and seek professional assessments.

Surveying Cymru can help you identify the most effective solution for your home, ensuring you save the most money while improving energy efficiency and comfort from initial survey stage all the way through to removal if deemed necessary.

When it comes to purchasing, selling, or renovating a property, one of the most important steps you can take is to commission a chartered surveyor’s report. These reports offer a detailed, expert assessment of a property’s condition and value, helping you make informed decisions and avoid costly surprises down the line.

Types of Surveyor Reports:

We offer several levels of home surveys, each suited to different property types and client needs. The options are as follows:

RICS Condition Report (Level 1)

Ideal for newer properties or homes in good condition. This is the most basic report and includes a summary of condition and any risks or legal issues, but does not include advice or a valuation.

RICS HomeBuyer Report (Level 2)

Suitable for conventional properties in reasonable condition. It provides a more detailed assessment of a property’s condition, advice on repairs and maintenance, and may include a valuation.

RICS Building Survey (Level 3)

Best for older, larger, or non-standard properties, or if you’re planning major renovations. This is the most comprehensive report, including an in-depth analysis of the property’s condition, defects, and options for repair.

If you are interested in any of the above or require any further details, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the Surveying Cymru Team.

Decarbonisation!

Did you know.

Depending on size, materials, and how those materials are sourced, constructing a new house likely emits in the order of 15 to 100 tons of CO2. That’s a large amount, but only a fraction as much as an energy inefficient house might emit over its lifetime.

We all know that more needs to be done about climate change, and we all can make changes to our lives to reduce our carbon footprint. One of the biggest contributors to our carbon footprint is something we often don’t think about as being very polluting. Our homes.

The houses we live in have a huge effect on our carbon footprint. How it’s built determines how much energy you will use on heating.

What your house is built from also has a huge effect on its carbon footprint. Most houses in the UK are built out of brick, with a concrete foundation. The energy efficiency of your home has a direct impact on the carbon emissions. So, if your insulation is not up to standard you could be unwittingly polluting the atmosphere so get in touch now to arrange an energy efficiency survey to find out more.
