A Help to Buy valuation is an official property assessment required by Help to Buy Wales when you first purchase with an equity loan, when you want to staircase (increase your ownership share), when you remortgage, or when you come to sell your property. The valuation must be carried out by a RICS registered valuer who will inspect the property and provide a formal report accepted by Help to Buy Wales. This is not the same as a mortgage valuation or a building survey - it is specifically designed to meet the requirements of the Help to Buy Wales scheme and determines the maximum equity loan you can receive.
The valuation determines the current market value of your property, which directly affects how much equity loan you can access or how much you need to pay to increase your share. For properties in Wrexham LL13, our valuers understand the local market dynamics, including the impact of new developments like Holt Vale and Llys Y Coed on surrounding property values. We research recent sales in your specific street and comparable roads, considering factors such as the condition of the property, any improvements made, and the demand in your particular neighbourhood within the LL13 area.
Our Help to Buy valuations include a thorough internal and external inspection of the property, analysis of comparable sales in the local area, and a detailed report that meets all Help to Buy Wales requirements. We aim to deliver your valuation report within 3-5 working days of instruction, though this can be expedited for urgent cases. The report includes comprehensive details about your property's construction, condition, location, and the market context that supports our valuation figure, making it suitable for submission to Help to Buy Wales, your mortgage lender, or your conveyancing solicitor.

When valuing Help to Buy properties in these new build areas, we consider the premium that new-build properties command versus second-hand properties, while also accounting for the fact that Help to Buy equity is based on the market value at the time of valuation. This means our valuation reflects what a willing buyer would pay in current market conditions, not what you originally paid for the property.

The amount you pay is calculated based on the current market value of your property, so an accurate valuation is essential to ensure you are paying the correct amount for the additional share.

Yes, a Help to Buy valuation can often be used for mortgage purposes, though your lender may require a specific mortgage valuation. Our reports are comprehensive RICS valuations that many lenders accept, but you should check with your mortgage provider to confirm their requirements. In some cases, lenders may accept our Help to Buy valuation instead of requiring a separate mortgage valuation, which could save you money. However, if the lender requires a specific mortgage valuation product, we can provide that as well.
If you believe the valuation is too low, you can request a review of the assessment. We can provide additional comparable evidence to support a higher valuation if appropriate, such as more recent sales data or evidence of improvements to your property. In some cases, you may instruct a second RICS valuer for a fresh opinion, though this would incur additional costs. We aim to ensure our valuations are accurate and defensible, so if there is evidence to support a different figure, we will review our assessment.
