When you purchased your property through the Help to Buy scheme, the government provided an equity loan to supplement your 5% deposit. This loan was typically worth up to 20% of the property value (or 40% in London). Now that you want to repay this loan or sell your property, Homes England requires an independent valuation to calculate exactly how much you need to pay back. The valuation must confirm the current market value of your home in Irthlingborough so the government can determine its share of any equity.
Our surveyors conduct thorough inspections of your property and research recent sales of comparable homes in the Irthlingborough area to determine an accurate market value. The valuation report must be addressed to Homes England, confirm the surveyor's independence from any estate agent or mortgage broker, and include at least three comparable sales from the last 90 days. These comparables should ideally be from within a two-mile radius of your property in Irthlingborough to ensure accuracy and relevance.

If you have not completed your equity loan redemption or property sale within this period, you will need to commission a new valuation to reflect current market conditions.

If your Irthlingborough property has decreased in value since you purchased it through Help to Buy, you may need to repay less than the original equity loan amount. However, you should be aware that you must repay the original loan amount or 25% of the property's current value, whichever is lower, plus any partial repayment amount you have already made. This means in a falling market, you could benefit from repaying less than the original percentage.
