A Help to Buy valuation is a specific type of RICS Red Book valuation required when you want to repay your equity loan, remortgage your property, or sell your home. The government scheme, which helped thousands of homeowners purchase new-build properties with an equity loan, requires an official valuation from a RICS-regulated surveyor before any redemption or remortgage can proceed.
In Billinghay, where the housing market has seen considerable growth with detached properties averaging around £268,000 and semi-detached homes at approximately £154,500, getting an accurate valuation is crucial. The valuation determines how much you will need to pay to clear your equity loan, which is typically calculated as a percentage of the property's current market value. With the average property price in Billinghay now sitting between £242,000 and £260,000 according to recent data, the equity loan redemption amount can represent a significant sum.
Our surveyors use the RICS Valuation - Global Standards (Red Book) methodology, ensuring your valuation is compliant with Help to Buy requirements.

The report includes detailed market analysis, comparable evidence from similar properties in the village and surrounding North Kesteven area, and the final valuation figure that satisfies all regulatory requirements.

The Help to Buy equity loan scheme allowed buyers to purchase a new-build property with a 5% deposit, a 75% mortgage, and a 20% equity loan from the government. In 2021, the scheme was reformed to focus on first-time buyers only, with the equity loan reduced to 15%. If you purchased your Billinghay property under the original scheme, your equity loan represents 20% of the property value.
If you are looking to redeem your equity loan in Billinghay, you will need to arrange for a RICS-registered valuer to assess your property. The redemption amount is calculated based on the current market value of your home, not the original purchase price. Given the significant price growth in Billinghay, with average prices increasing by over 20% year-on-year, this can have substantial implications for your redemption figure. For example, a property purchased for £200,000 would now be worth approximately £242,000, meaning the 20% equity loan has grown from £40,000 to around £48,400.
Our surveyors can provide you with a clear understanding of your property's current market value and what your equity loan redemption might look like.
