Why won't mortgage companies finance houses that have dried spray foam insulation?

Mortgage companies often have specific guidelines and requirements regarding the type of insulation used in a property.

While spray foam insulation offers excellent thermal properties and energy efficiency benefits, some mortgage lenders may be hesitant to finance houses that have spray foam insulation due to several reasons:

• One common concern is related to fire safety. Certain types of spray foam insulation, particularly those with a high flammability rating, may raise red flags for mortgage lenders. Since the insulation is applied directly to surfaces, including walls and attics, there is a perceived risk of increased fire hazards if not installed or maintained properly.
• Another concern revolves around potential moisture and ventilation issues. Improper installation or inadequate ventilation can lead to trapped moisture, which may result in mold growth and structural damage over time. Mortgage companies may view dried spray foam insulation as a potential risk factor for these issues, as they can have a significant impact on the long-term stability and value of a property.
• Additionally, the cost of spray foam insulation and its installation can be relatively higher compared to other insulation options. This may raise concerns for mortgage lenders regarding the overall affordability of the property for potential buyers.

It's important to note that not all mortgage companies have strict policies against financing houses with spray foam insulation. Some lenders may have specific criteria, such as requiring documentation of proper installation, compliance with building codes, and certifications from reputable insulation professionals. It's recommended to consult with your mortgage lender directly to understand their specific guidelines and whether they can accommodate properties with spray foam insulation.

Ultimately, while some mortgage companies may be cautious about financing houses with spray foam insulation, it's essential to work with professionals who can address any concerns, provide proper documentation, and ensure that the installation meets all necessary safety and building code requirements.
