Help to Buy Valuation in Mylor, Cornwall

A Help to Buy valuation is a specific type of RICS Red Book valuation required by equity loan providers such as Homes England when you want to redeem your Help to Buy equity loan, sell your property, or remortgage. Unlike a standard market valuation, a Help to Buy valuation must be carried out by a RICS regulated valuer and must comply with strict Red Book standards and templates required by your equity loan provider. The report format is specifically designed for equity loan calculations and cannot be substituted with a standard mortgage valuation.

The valuation report must be addressed specifically to your equity loan provider and remain valid for a set period, usually three months. Our valuers will ensure your valuation report contains all necessary declarations, assumptions, and methodology statements required for Homes England acceptance. We use the official valuation forms and templates specified by your provider, ensuring there are no delays in processing your redemption application.

The valuation determines the current market value of your property, which directly affects how much equity you need to repay. For properties in Mylor and Mylor Bridge, where house prices have shown steady growth of 5.0% in the last year, getting an accurate valuation is essential to ensure you repay the correct amount of equity. With the median price per square metre at £4,510 across 378 recent sales in the TR11 5 area, our valuers have substantial data to support an accurate assessment.

It is important to remember that the valuation is for redemption purposes only and does not provide a detailed condition assessment of the property. If you want a full understanding of your property's condition, you may also consider booking a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey alongside your Help to Buy valuation.

When you took out your Help to Buy equity loan, the government provided up to 20% of the property value as an equity loan. This meant you only needed a 5% deposit and a mortgage for the remaining 75%. Now, when you want to redeem your loan, the amount you repay is based on the current market value of your property, not the original purchase price.

If your property has increased in value since you purchased it, you will repay more than the original loan amount. However, if your property has decreased in value, you may owe less than the original loan. Our valuers will assess your property accurately to ensure the correct repayment figure is calculated. This is particularly important in the current market where property values in the TR11 5 area have shown 5.0% annual growth.

For example, if you purchased a property in Mylor Bridge for £300,000 with a £60,000 equity loan (20%), and your property is now worth £400,000, you would need to repay £80,000 to clear your loan. Our valuation report will clearly show this calculation so you know exactly where you stand before proceeding with redemption or sale.

The Help to Buy equity loan scheme helped many first-time buyers in the Mylor area get onto the property ladder, with the government providing an equity loan of up to 20% of the property value. If you are one of these buyers and now want to redeem your loan, sell your property, or remortgage, you will need to obtain an official valuation to determine how much you need to repay. This is a legal requirement before any redemption can proceed.
