Help To Buy Valuation in BA22 9 Yeoml

The Help to Buy equity loan scheme allowed buyers to purchase a new-build property with just a 5% deposit, with the government providing an equity loan of up to 20% (or 40% in London). If you are one of the many homeowners in BA22 9 who purchased through this scheme, you will eventually need a formal valuation to remortgage out of the scheme, sell your property, or request a staircasing payment to reduce your equity loan. Our team handles all these scenarios regularly and understands the specific requirements each milestone demands.
