If you are considering staircasing (increasing your ownership percentage) or redeeming your Help to Buy equity loan in full, getting an accurate valuation is essential.

Our valuers can provide you with the official valuation needed for these transactions.

Recent market data shows that different parts of CM2 9 have performed very differently. While areas like CM2 9TJ have seen strong growth of around 14%, other areas such as CM2 9SP and CM2 9TY have experienced corrections of approximately 17%. This disparity means that the valuation for your property depends heavily on its exact location within CM2 9. Our local expertise ensures we use the most appropriate comparable sales data for your specific neighbourhood.

The staircasing process allows you to buy additional shares in your property (typically in 10% increments) up to 100% ownership. Each staircase requires a fresh RICS valuation to determine the price of the additional share. Redemption involves paying off the equity loan entirely, which again requires an up-to-date valuation to determine the amount due. Our team can guide you through the process and ensure you have all the documentation needed.
