Help to Buy Valuations
What Is a Help to Buy Valuation?
A Help to Buy valuation is a formal property valuation required when you want to sell a Help to Buy property, staircase your equity loan, or repay it in full. The valuation confirms the current open market value of your home, which is then used to calculate the amount owed to Homes England.
This valuation must be carried out by a RICS Help to Buy valuation surveyor and prepared in line with specific Help to Buy guidance.
Why a Help to Buy Valuation Is Required
Homes England require an independent RICS Help to Buy valuation to ensure the equity loan is repaid fairly, based on the current market value of the property. The valuation must be accurate, impartial, and compliant, as it forms the basis for your repayment or sale.
We regularly act as Help to Buy valuation surveyors, providing reports that are accepted by Homes England, solicitors, and mortgage lenders, helping to keep the process straightforward and free from unnecessary delays.
How Does the Process Work?
One of our RICS-certified surveyors will arrange a convenient time to visit your property and carry out the Help to Buy valuation inspection. During the visit, they will assess the property’s condition, size, location, and recent comparable sales evidence.
Following the inspection, we’ll prepare a clear and fully compliant RICS Help to Buy valuation report, ready to be submitted to Homes England or shared with your solicitor or financial adviser.
