Help to Buy Valuation in Lullington

A Help to Buy valuation is a specific type of RICS Red Book valuation required when you want to repay your equity loan, remortgage your property, or when the initial five-year interest-free period ends. This is not the same as a mortgage valuation or a building survey. The valuation must be carried out by a RICS qualified valuer who will inspect your property and produce a formal report that complies with the RICS Valuation - Global Standards (the Red Book). The report provides an open market value that determines how much equity you need to repay to the Help to Buy agency.
