Help to Buy Valuation in Markfield

The valuation must be carried out by a RICS qualified chartered surveyor who will assess your property's current market value in accordance with the RICS Valuation - Global Standards (the Red Book). This ensures the valuation is recognised by all major lenders and the Homes England or Help to Buy Wales administrator.
