Help to Buy Valuation in Grindon

The Help to Buy equity loan scheme allowed buyers to purchase new-build properties with just a 5% deposit, with the government providing an equity loan of up to 20% (or 40% in London). When you come to redeem this loan, either through selling your property, remortgaging, or paying off the loan directly, you must obtain a valuation from a RICS qualified surveyor. This valuation determines the current market value of your home and calculates the amount you need to repay on your equity loan. The process follows strict RICS Red Book guidelines to ensure accuracy and fairness in all valuations.
