A Help to Buy valuation involves a physical inspection of your property's interior by a RICS-registered surveyor.

Homes England requires that Help to Buy valuations be carried out by a RICS-registered surveyor who is independent of any estate agent or mortgage provider.

You will usually receive your completed valuation report within 5-7 working days of the inspection, though faster turnaround times may be available upon request. We understand timing is important when redeeming your equity loan.
If your valuation comes in lower than expected, you may need to pay more to redeem your equity loan since the repayment amount is based on a percentage of the current market value. However, you can discuss the valuation with our surveyor to understand the comparables used and the reasoning behind the figure. If you believe there are errors or unrepresented factors, you may be able to request a review. Remember, the valuation reflects current market conditions in your specific CH45 4 sub-postcode, and market conditions can vary significantly even within small areas.

Using the correct valuation ensures your redemption calculation is accurate and compliant.
