This valuation must be carried out by a RICS registered valuer using Red Book methodology.
Our valuers in Gelligaer follow strict RICS guidelines to ensure your valuation is accurate, impartial, and legally compliant. The valuation process involves a physical inspection of your property, analysis of comparable sales in the local Gelligaer market, and consideration of current market conditions in the Caerphilly area.

The valuer will measure rooms, note the property's condition, and assess features that affect market value.

If your Gelligaer property has decreased in value since purchase, your equity loan percentage remains the same but represents a lower pound amount.

Yes, your Help to Buy valuation report provides an independent market valuation that can be useful when setting an asking price if you decide to sell. The RICS Red Book valuation gives you a professionally assessed figure based on comparable sales in the Gelligaer area. However, for a full marketing campaign, you may want an additional estate agent valuation to complement this with their market expertise.
If you believe there are errors in your valuation or have evidence of comparable sales that were not considered, you can request a review. Our valuers are happy to discuss the methodology used and can re-examine evidence if new information becomes available. We aim to ensure every valuation is accurate and defensible, so we welcome the opportunity to explain our reasoning.
Your equity loan repayment is calculated based on the current market value of your property as determined by the RICS valuation. For example, if you took a 20% equity loan and your property is now worth £200,000, you would owe £40,000 (20% of the current value). This means if your property has increased in value, your repayment amount will be higher than your original loan. Our valuation report clearly shows this calculation.
