Probably just polystyrene (but test it). Beware though, it’s there for a reason, probably hiding big (aesthetic) cracks and a shitty ceiling that’ll need skimmed or overboarded.

To be honest, I expected that they'd be asbestos and we'd be paying >£100/m for removal, so if they 'just' need skimming that's a plus.
The upstairs ceilings are all cracked and need doing anyway.
Is it too much to ask to be able to afford a nicely finished place that we could move straight into? (Not that they're coming up for sale) (First world problem).

The house with the big tree is still the frontrunner at the moment.
The downstairs ceiling tiles are making me nervous though (see below), and under the wallpaper in an upstairs bedroom was what looked like polystyrene.
Chances of one or both being asbestos?
