The RICS Red Book, or Valuation - Global Standards, sets out the requirements for all valuations carried out for financial purposes in the UK. For Help to Buy equity loan redemptions or remortgages, these standards are particularly important because your report will be used by Homes England to determine the amount you need to repay on your equity loan.
