filling the roof void with spray on insulation that then prevents any form of maintenance
My mother, who is doing up her Georgian boomer pile to sell and downsize, had this done.
The place is now unmortgageable for buyers, who only had a limited pool of mortgage providers that would lend on a property with two addresses.
New roof time...

You have to be careful with retrofitting insulation to any property really, nothing is risk free.
Grenfell being a worst case scenario
Other dumb things like filling wall cavities (30s housing) with spray insulation that then allows damp bridging, filling the roof void with spray on insulation that then prevents any form of maintenance, fitting external insulation that prevents brickwork from drying out.
All this stuff those Insulate Britain clowns pretend isn't a thing
