When our surveyor visits your Hemyock property for the Help to Buy valuation, they will conduct a comprehensive inspection that goes beyond a basic visual assessment. Our inspector will measure all rooms and calculate the gross internal floor area, which is a key factor in determining the market value. They will also note the property's construction type, age, and any significant features that could affect value, such as a garage, outbuildings, or attractive rural views.

The inspection includes assessing the overall condition of the property, including the roof, walls, windows, doors, plumbing, and electrical systems. Our surveyor will look for any visible defects or issues that might affect the property's value, such as damp, structural movement, or outdated fixtures. For properties in Hemyock, we pay particular attention to the condition of traditional Devon construction methods, which may include older stone or brickwork that requires specialist assessment.

We also consider the property's location within Hemyock and the wider Mid Devon area. Factors such as proximity to local schools, transport links, and village amenities are taken into account when determining market value.
