Help to Buy Valuation in BS13 7 Bristol

Help to Buy valuations differ significantly from standard mortgage valuations because they must comply with the RICS Red Book (Valuation Standards) and meet the specific requirements set by the Homes and Communities Agency. When you redeem your equity loan or remortgage, the lender requires an independent valuation to determine how much equity you have built and what loan amount they can offer. Our valuers conduct thorough inspections and provide comprehensive reports that satisfy all stakeholder requirements, including the government body that oversees the Help to Buy scheme. The valuation must be conducted by a RICS Registered Valuer who has the necessary expertise to assess properties in the Bristol area.

The inspection typically takes between 30-60 minutes depending on the size and complexity of your property.
