Help to Buy Valuation in Barkby Thorpe

A Help to Buy valuation is a specific type of RICS Red Book valuation that is required when you want to redeem your equity loan, remortgage, or sell your Help to Buy property. Unlike a standard mortgage valuation, this report must be conducted by an independent RICS registered valuer and is valid for a limited period, typically three months. The valuation provides the current market value of your property, which determines any repayment amount owed to Homes England.

The valuation report must be addressed specifically to Homes England and include detailed comparable sales evidence. This ensures that the equity loan calculation is based on an independent, professional assessment of your property's current market value. Our valuers have extensive experience in the Leicestershire property market and understand the specific factors that affect property values in the Charnwood area, from the new builds at Thorpebury to the older properties along Barkby Thorpe Lane.
