Help to Buy Valuation in PH14 Perthshire

Help to Buy Scotland was designed to assist first-time buyers and existing homeowners purchase new-build properties with an equity loan of up to 20% of the property value (or 40% in London). When you reach the end of your equity loan term, or if you want to sell your property or staircase (repay part of the loan), you must obtain a RICS Red Book valuation to determine the amount you owe. This valuation must be carried out by a RICS registered valuer who will inspect your property and produce a formal report that complies with strict professional standards.
