Help to Buy Valuation in Enville

A Help to Buy valuation is a specific type of RICS Red Book valuation that is required when you are redeeming your equity loan, remortgaging your property, or staircasing (buying additional shares) under the Help to Buy scheme. Unlike a standard mortgage valuation, this is a detailed assessment that complies with the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) requirements and provides the official market value of your property.

The valuation report must be carried out by a RICS registered valuer who has the appropriate qualifications and experience. Our team includes senior RICS valuers who have extensive experience in helping Enville homeowners complete their Help to Buy transactions smoothly and efficiently.

This market value figure is what is used by your Help to Buy provider to calculate any early repayment charges or the amount of equity you can staircase.
