Help to Buy Valuation in Great Coxwell

Help to Buy equity loans were designed to help first-time buyers and home movers purchase new-build properties with a smaller deposit. If you purchased a property in Great Coxwell or the surrounding Faringdon area through the Help to Buy scheme, you will eventually need to repay your equity loan or remortgage. This process requires a RICS Red Book valuation carried out by a qualified surveyor. The equity loan is typically repayable after 25 years or when you sell your property, though early redemption is possible and often financially beneficial for homeowners in areas where property values have increased significantly.

The valuation must be conducted by a RICS registered valuer who will assess your property's current market value. This valuation is not the same as a mortgage valuation or a building survey - it is specifically for Help to Buy redemption purposes and must meet the strict guidelines set out in the RICS Valuation - Global Standards (the Red Book). Our valuers understand these requirements and will provide you with the documentation needed for your lender or Homes England. The report must include specific methodology, comparable evidence, and market analysis that satisfies the rigorous standards expected by the Red Book framework.
