A mortgage valuation is for the lender's benefit and assesses security value only, focusing on whether the property is sufficient collateral for the loan. A Help to Buy valuation is a RICS Red Book valuation required by the Welsh Government that determines market value for equity loan calculations, and it follows specific regulatory requirements that go beyond a standard mortgage valuation. The Help to Buy valuation is more detailed and includes comprehensive comparable sales analysis to establish the true market value of your property in the current Torfaen market.

The property inspection usually takes 30-60 minutes depending on the size of your property.

We offer expedited services if you need your valuation urgently - just let us know when you book and we can often arrange a faster turnaround to meet your timeline.

If your property value has decreased, you may owe more than 20% of the current market value if you have a 20% equity loan.

Yes, a Help to Buy valuation can often be used for remortgaging purposes, as it is a RICS Red Book valuation accepted by most lenders. However, you should confirm with your proposed lender whether they accept a Help to Buy valuation or require their own mortgage valuation, as requirements vary between lenders. Some lenders may accept the valuation we've prepared for Help to Buy purposes, while others may want their own assessment. We're happy to discuss your specific lender's requirements when you book your valuation.
