The physical inspection of your property typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the property. After the inspection, we'll deliver your formal valuation report within 3-5 working days. We also offer an express service if you need your report faster, which can be arranged at the time of booking. If you're facing a deadline with your Help to Buy application, let us know and we can often accommodate rush requests, especially for properties in the CH46 postcode where our valuers are regularly working.

Yes, ideally you or a representative should be present during the property inspection. This allows the valuer to access all areas of the property, including the interior, loft space if accessible, and any outbuildings. If you're unable to attend, you can arrange for a trusted person such as a family member, neighbour, or letting agent to be present and provide access. For vacant properties, we can arrange access through keys held by estate agents in the Moreton area. The valuer will need to measure all rooms and take photographs, so ensuring full access is important for an accurate valuation.

A Help to Buy valuation is specifically for the equity loan scheme and must be carried out by a RICS registered valuer approved by the scheme. A mortgage valuation, on the other hand, is for your mortgage lender and primarily checks that the property is worth the amount you want to borrow. While both involve a property inspection and market value assessment, the Help to Buy valuation often includes more detailed comparable evidence and is formatted specifically for the equity loan application process. The Help to Buy valuation must be independent from your mortgage lender, whereas a mortgage valuation is often arranged through your lender directly. This independence ensures the valuation figure is unbiased and solely reflects market conditions in the Moreton area.

No, you cannot use a standard mortgage valuation for a Help to Buy application. The schemes have different requirements, and the Help to Buy agent will only accept a valuation report that meets their specific criteria. This is why it's important to book a dedicated Help to Buy valuation from the start of your application process. Using the wrong type of valuation can delay your application significantly, and you may end up needing to pay for both valuations. Our team can advise you on the correct valuation type for your specific circumstances, ensuring your application proceeds smoothly.

If the valuation is lower than the agreed purchase price, this can affect your Help to Buy equity loan calculation. The loan is based on the valuation figure, not the asking price, so you may need to negotiate with the seller or contribute more cash to make up the difference. In the current Moreton market, where prices have been rising by around 3-6% annually, valuations generally align well with asking prices, particularly for well-presented properties in good condition. If you're concerned about a potential shortfall, our valuers can provide guidance on what factors might influence the valuation and whether there are any improvements you could make before the inspection that might help achieve a higher figure.
