Help To Buy Valuation in Argoed

The Help to Buy Wales equity loan scheme enables buyers to purchase a new build property with just a 5% deposit, with the Welsh Government providing an equity loan of up to 20% (or 40% in designated areas). If you bought your Argoed property through this scheme, the terms of your equity loan require that any future valuation is carried out by a RICS registered valuer who is also on the Help to Buy Wales panel of valuers. This requirement ensures consistency and accuracy across all valuations submitted to the scheme.

These include when you come to sell your property, when you want to remortgage and need to port your equity loan, when you request a revaluation to potentially reduce your monthly payments, or when your initial 5-year interest-free period ends and you need to transition to the standard repayment terms. Our valuers regularly handle all these scenarios for homeowners throughout the Caerphilly borough.
