Official RICS valuations for equity loan redemption. From £450. Book your surveyor today.








If you need to redeem your Help to Buy equity loan, our RICS registered surveyors in Langrish provide the official valuation you need. The Help to Buy scheme closed to new applicants in England in October 2022, but if you still have an equity loan, you will need a RICS Red Book valuation to repay it. We act for homeowners across East Hampshire and the surrounding villages, delivering accurate property valuations that satisfy Homes England requirements.
Our team understands the local Langrish property market and uses comparable sales data from within your area to determine your property's current market value. Every valuation includes a thorough physical inspection of your home's interior and exterior, ensuring the valuation reflects the true condition of your property. We provide the valuation report on headed paper, signed by a RICS qualified surveyor, addressed to Homes England.

If you purchased your property through the Help to Buy scheme, you received an equity loan from the government - typically 20% of the property value (up to 40% in London). When you come to sell your home or reach the end of your loan term, you must repay the loan amount based on the current market value of your property, not the original purchase price. This is why obtaining an accurate, RICS-compliant valuation is essential.
For example, if you bought a property in Langrish for £250,000 with a 20% equity loan (£50,000), and your property is now worth £320,000, your repayment would be £64,000 - an increase of £14,000 from your original loan. Getting the valuation right from the start helps you plan your finances accurately and avoid unexpected costs. Our surveyors in Langrish have helped homeowners across East Hampshire navigate this process, ensuring they understand exactly what their redemption amount will be.
Our surveyors use at least three comparable properties within a two-mile radius of your Langrish home, ensuring the valuation reflects real market activity in your local area. These comparables must be like-for-like in terms of property type, size, and age, providing you with confidence that the valuation is based on solid evidence rather than estimates. In the East Hampshire area, where property types range from village cottages in Langrish to modern family homes in nearby Petersfield, this local approach is particularly important.
The Hampshire property market has seen steady activity in recent years, with detached properties in the district averaging around £485,000 and semi-detached homes at approximately £395,000. Understanding these local market dynamics is crucial when determining your property's current value for Help to Buy redemption purposes.
When you book a Help to Buy valuation with our team, a RICS qualified surveyor will visit your Langrish property to conduct a thorough physical inspection. Our inspector will note any defects, alterations, or improvements that may affect your property's value - from the roof and structural walls to the interior fixtures and fittings. We check the condition of windows, doors, plumbing, and electrical systems, documenting everything that could impact the market value.
Following the inspection, we research recent sales of comparable properties in the Langrish area and across East Hampshire to support our valuation figure. The final report includes bespoke market commentary explaining how we reached the valuation and why the comparables justify the given market value. This comprehensive approach ensures your valuation meets all Homes England requirements. We understand that properties in this part of Hampshire can vary significantly - from period properties in conservation-influenced areas to newer builds on the outskirts of Petersfield - and we account for these differences in our assessment.
Our team delivers the valuation report on official headed paper, signed by a RICS qualified surveyor and addressed specifically to Homes England. This meets the strict requirements for equity loan redemption and ensures your documentation is accepted without delay. We send a copy to Homes England within 5 working days of the valuation date, helping you stay on track with your redemption timeline.

A Help to Buy valuation is a RICS Red Book valuation required when you want to redeem (repay) your equity loan. The valuation determines the current market value of your property, which is used to calculate how much you need to repay the government. Unlike a standard mortgage valuation, this must be carried out by an independent RICS surveyor and meet specific Homes England requirements. Our surveyors in Langrish provide valuations that satisfy all these criteria, using comparable properties from within your local area in East Hampshire.

Your RICS valuation report is valid for 3 months from the date it is produced. If you need more time, we can arrange a desktop valuation letter to extend the validity by another 3 months, provided this is arranged within 2 weeks of the original expiry date. After this period, a full re-inspection would be required. We recommend planning your redemption timeline carefully to avoid additional costs.
If your property is worth less than when you purchased it through Help to Buy, your repayment amount will be based on the current lower market value. This means you may repay less than the original loan amount. However, the government also applies a share of any negative equity, so you would not benefit fully from any decrease in value. Our accurate valuation ensures you know exactly where you stand financially before proceeding with your redemption.
Yes, the cost of the Help to Buy valuation is typically paid for by the homeowner, not the government. The fee is not covered by your equity loan and must be paid separately. Some solicitors or conveyancers may include valuation costs in their overall fees, so it is worth checking with your legal representative. We can provide you with a detailed invoice for your records.
No, valuations carried out for bank or mortgage purposes are not acceptable for Help to Buy redemption. You must obtain a specific RICS Red Book valuation that meets Homes England requirements. This includes using comparable properties, providing market commentary, and addressing the report to Homes England. Our valuations are specifically tailored for equity loan redemption and meet all Homes England criteria.
If you are redeeming a Help to Buy loan on a flat, there may be additional requirements. Homes England may ask specific cladding questions, and if your building is over 11 metres tall, you may need an EWS1 (External Wall Fire Review) form. Our surveyors are familiar with these requirements and can advise you on what is needed for your specific property. We will discuss any additional documentation requirements during the inspection process.
The physical inspection of your property typically takes between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the size and complexity of your home. We aim to deliver your valuation report within 5 working days of the inspection. We will send a copy to Homes England within this timeframe, helping you stay on track with your redemption timeline.
