Help to Buy Valuation in High Roothing

The Help to Buy equity loan scheme allows purchasers to borrow up to 20% of the property value (or 40% in London) as an equity loan, which is combined with a mortgage deposit to make up the difference. Before your application can proceed, your mortgage lender requires an independent valuation to determine the maximum amount they are willing to lend. This is where our RICS registered valuers come in. We visit your chosen property in High Roothing, assess its condition and location, and provide a formal valuation report that satisfies both your lender and the Help to Buy agency requirements.

The valuation process involves a thorough inspection of the property, examining construction quality, room sizes, overall condition, and any significant defects that might affect value. In High Roothing, we regularly value properties across various styles including period cottages along The Street, modern developments like Broadfield, and new build homes in the surrounding area. Our valuers understand the local market dynamics, including recent price trends in the CM6 postcode area, which enables us to provide accurate valuations that reflect current market conditions and comparable sales evidence.
