Help to Buy Valuation in Elmesthorpe

A Help to Buy valuation is a specific type of RICS Red Book valuation required by the government-backed Help to Buy equity loan scheme. When you purchased your Elmesthorpe property using Help to Buy, you received an equity loan of up to 20% (or 40% in London) towards the purchase price. Now, whether you want to repay this loan, sell your property, or reach the end of your five-year interest-free period, you need an official valuation carried out by a RICS registered valuer. The equity loan provider uses this valuation to calculate exactly what you need to repay based on the current market value of your home.

We understand that the local market has seen some adjustments recently, with Rightmove reporting prices around 12% down on the previous year and similar to the 2022 peak of £359,065.
