Help to Buy Valuation in Nantwich

A Help to Buy valuation is an independent assessment of your property's current market value, carried out by a RICS registered surveyor. This valuation is specifically required when you want to repay your equity loan in full, staircase to increase your ownership share, remortgage your property, or sell your home. The valuation must be conducted by a RICS registered valuer and follow the Red Book standards to ensure it is accepted by the Help to Buy agency and your mortgage lender.

The equity loan amount is calculated as a percentage of the property's current market value or the agreed sale price, whichever is higher. In Nantwich's current market, where property values have shown positive growth of approximately 3% over the past year, getting an accurate valuation is essential to ensure you are repaying the correct loan amount. Our valuers will assess your property against comparable sales in the local area, taking into account the specific characteristics of Nantwich properties.

Whether you own a modern detached home at one of the new developments in the CW5 area, or a period property in the historic town centre conservation area, our surveyors have the local knowledge to provide an accurate valuation. We understand that Nantwich offers a varied housing stock, from Georgian residences to contemporary new builds, and we factor these differences into our assessments. Our valuers are familiar with the nuances of properties in flood risk areas along the River Weaver, which can affect both valuation and insurability.

The town centre, with its 131 listed buildings and extensive conservation area, presents unique considerations for property valuations. Period properties in areas like Barker Street, Beam Street, and High Street may have different value drivers than modern developments on the outskirts. Our valuers understand these nuances and will assess your property against the most relevant comparables. Many of the timber-framed buildings in the conservation area were rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1583, giving Nantwich its distinctive "black and white" character.

For those with properties in flood risk areas along the River Weaver, particularly on Welsh Row, Shrewbridge Road, or Holland Walk, we factor in any flood risk considerations when determining market value.

We check current flood risk data and any historical flood events, including those from Storm Babet, when assessing properties in these areas.
