Help To Buy Valuation in Liverpool L5 9

A Help to Buy valuation is a specific type of property assessment required for properties purchased under the UK government's Help to Buy equity loan scheme. Unlike a standard mortgage valuation, a Help to Buy valuation must be carried out by a RICS registered valuer and follows strict guidelines set out in the RICS Valuation - Global Standards (the Red Book). This valuation determines the current market value of your property, which is used to calculate any equity loan repayment amount due to the government.

When you purchased your Help to Buy property, you received an equity loan from the government typically worth up to 20% of the property value (or 40% in London). This loan is interest-free for the first five years. However, when you come to sell your property, repay the loan, or reach the end of the five-year interest-free period, you need an official valuation to determine how much you owe. The repayment amount is calculated as a percentage of the property's current market value, not the original purchase price.
