Isotex and mortgage lenders- any problems ?

Hi All.

Isotex and mortgage lenders- any problems intially or on future resale. I just had someone warn me to check.

We have Durisol, so similar.  When I spoke to our building insurance people and said we had built using an ICF block, I asked if that was a novel or standard build, they said standard it's just a reinforced concrete wall.

 

Breaking the construction down, an ICF block is just concrete formwork that remains in place instead of being removed.  So your construction is just reinforced concrete that is insulated.

Who warned you?

 

When I was researching they weren't concerned about the type of ICF (it's all classified as a modern method of construction) they were more concerned about a BBA certificate.

I think it came from a Nadura installer (stangely enough ! ). Who did you get on with the lack of BBA cert?

@Surfiejim I didn't go with isotex, blessing in disguise as it turns out. I used Jackon, they supplied me with BBA certificates.
