Hey you all, we're curently remodeling our house which we bought about a month and a half ago. The seller said house had no asbestos in it at all or whatsoever. However we just came across this insulation in the ceiling. Could you guys tell if it is an asbestos insulation or not cuz I'm kinda freaking out right now
Appreciate your help

Don't know. I always put a match to it. Asbestos glows and don't burn. Guess it's glass fiber but see if it melts
 
You will need to get it tested to be 100% sure.
This can be done cheaply by post. Check online.
If it is loose fill asbestos it is the most dangerous.

not expensive to test. I got one turned around in 4 days.

It looks like glass wool insulation . it in the whole ceiling as i've seen this shite from cavity wall insulation overspilling into ceiling though holes around joists or uncapped cavity.
what age is the building? what's on the otherside of the insulation

also . if this was asbestos it's most definitely one to take precautions. Not like artex which has 0.5-2% asbestos. The old asbestos loft insulation was 100% spun asbestos fibres. Lovely stuff

Not sure what is on the other side as we just started with the remodel. House was built in 1922

Sellers who say there's no asbestos are full of s**t or will play ignorant.
I would get it tested before proceeding. It will pray on your mind otherwise
