Help to Buy Valuation in Llandissilio West

The Help to Buy equity loan scheme was designed to help first-time buyers get onto the property ladder by providing a government-backed loan of up to 20% of the property value (or 40% in London). If you purchased your property in Llandissilio West through the Help to Buy scheme, you will eventually need to repay this equity loan, either by selling the property or through staircasing (buying out the equity loan share). The scheme closed to new applicants in December 2020, but existing borrowers continue to work through their repayment obligations.

When it comes time to repay your equity loan, the Help to Buy agency requires an independent valuation carried out by a RICS-regulated valuer. This valuation determines the current market value of your property, which in turn calculates the amount you need to repay. The valuers at Homemove understand the unique characteristics of the Pembrokeshire property market, including the rural nature of Llandissilio West and the surrounding parish areas.
