The Great British Cavity Wall Insulation Scandal

from The Property Nomads Podcast · host Rob Smallbone & Aaron Devoy

Rob discusses the concerning issue of poorly installed cavity wall insulation through government-backed schemes. He highlights the complaints received by the BBC from homeowners who have faced problems due to improper insulation, stressing  the importance of reputation and aligning with trustworthy professionals in the property industry.  KEY TAKEAWAYS There have been issues with insulation installations not being done properly under government schemes, leading to problems for homeowners and landlords. Always align yourself with reputable people in the property industry to avoid potential issues with installations or other property-related matters. When installing insulation, consider how it may affect the property's ventilation and ability to "breathe" to prevent issues like condensation and mould. Before undertaking any property-related work, make sure to do thorough research on the companies or individuals you are working with to avoid potential pitfalls. BEST MOMENTS "There's a lot of issues within the property world at the moment when it comes to government-backed schemes and insulation installations that haven't been done properly." "Reputation is very important. You must always look to align yourself with the best possible people and have a good understanding of housing in general." "Since 2008, supposedly more than three million homes have had cavity wall insulation fitted under green energy schemes set up by the government." "It's almost depressing doing a podcast on it, because it's just not pleasant to read. It highlights the fact that it seems we can't do anything right in this country without a lot of people taking the proverbial." "Just be careful. If you're going through routes of getting installation done under green home grants and green schemes, just be careful with who you're using. Do your research."
