No. A standard mortgage valuation is for the benefit of your lender and does not meet the RICS Red Book standards required by the Help to Buy scheme. You must instruct a specific Help to Buy valuation from a RICS registered valuer. We understand this can be frustrating if you have recently had a mortgage valuation, but the two assessments serve different purposes and have different regulatory requirements. The Help to Buy scheme specifically requires a Red Book compliant valuation that includes detailed comparable evidence and a full market appraisal.

You will need to provide your Help to Buy agreement reference number, the property address in DN18 5, details of any improvements or alterations you have made, and confirmation of whether you are redeeming, staircasing, or selling.

If you believe the valuation is incorrect, you can request a review from the valuer.
