Help to Buy Valuation in Pirton

When you first purchased your property through the Help to Buy scheme, you received an equity loan from the government that covered up to 20% of the property value. This meant you only needed a 5% deposit and a mortgage to cover the remaining 75%. Now, whether you are looking to sell your property, remortgage to a new lender, or simply repay the equity loan, you must obtain a current market valuation carried out by a RICS registered valuer. This valuation determines the outstanding amount you owe on your equity loan, which is calculated as a percentage of the current property value.

Our valuers in Pirton understand the local market dynamics that affect property values in this part of Worcestershire. The Wychavon district has seen relatively strong performance with a 7.2% increase in average house prices from December 2024 to December 2025, according to ONS data. However, Pirton specifically has experienced a sharper correction, with prices falling over 20% from their peak. This local variation is exactly why you need a valuer who understands the nuances of your specific area rather than relying on generic national indices.
