Help to Buy Valuation in Bryanston

A Help to Buy valuation is specifically required when you are looking to repay your equity loan, remortgage your property, or sell your home that was purchased through the Help to Buy scheme. The valuation must be carried out by a RICS-regulated surveyor to meet the requirements of the Help to Buy agency and your mortgage lender. In Bryanston and the surrounding Blandford Forum area, we have surveyors who are familiar with the local market dynamics, including the impact of new developments like Bryanston Holt on property values.

The Help to Buy scheme allowed purchasers to buy a new build property with just a 5% deposit, with the government providing an equity loan of up to 20% (or 40% in London). This made homeownership accessible to many families in Dorset who might otherwise have struggled to get on the property ladder. However, when you come to repay this loan or remortgage, you need an official valuation to determine how much you owe. Our valuation report complies with RICS Red Book standards and provides the detailed assessment required by the Help to Buy agency.
