Help to Buy Valuation in Berkley

A Help to Buy valuation is specifically designed for properties that were purchased under the government's Help to Buy equity loan scheme. If you are looking to remortgage your Help to Buy property, sell your home, or simply want to understand how much equity you have built up, you will need an official valuation carried out by a RICS registered valuer. This valuation is different from a standard mortgage valuation as it assesses the current market value of your property, which determines the amount of equity you can potentially release. The valuation also calculates any early repayment charge that may apply if you are within the five-year repayment window.
