A Help to Buy valuation is a specific type of RICS Red Book valuation that is required when you want to repay your equity loan, sell your property, or staircase (buy out) a portion of the equity loan. Unlike a standard mortgage valuation, this report must be carried out by a RICS Registered Valuer who will assess your property against strict valuation standards. The valuer will inspect the property internally, examine comparable sales data, and provide a formal valuation certificate that is accepted by Homes England.
In the CH46 5 area, property values have shown strong performance recently. For instance, properties in CH46 5NU have seen a 21% increase on their 2022 peak, with average prices now reaching £350,000. Similarly, CH46 5NG has seen a 16% rise from its 2016 peak to an average of £361,000. These market conditions make it particularly important to obtain an accurate valuation, as the equity loan percentage is calculated based on the property value at the time of redemption.
The valuation report will include a detailed inspection of your property's condition, size, and layout, alongside analysis of recent comparable sales in the local area. Our valuers will consider factors such as the property type, location, and any improvements or alterations made since purchase. The final valuation figure is used by Homes England to calculate the amount you need to repay, which is based on the percentage equity loan originally provided.
that Help to Buy valuations differ significantly from standard mortgage valuations. The RICS Red Book methodology requires our valuers to follow strict professional standards, including the market approach, income approach, or cost approach depending on the property type. This ensures the valuation is defensible and meets Homes England's requirements for equity loan calculations.
