When you sell your Help to Buy property or remortgage, the amount of equity loan you need to repay is calculated as a percentage of the current market value, not the original purchase price. For example, if you received a 20% equity loan and your property is now worth £180,000, you would need to repay £36,000. Our valuers can explain how this calculation works and what it means for your specific situation in the PR5 8 area. Understanding this calculation is crucial for financial planning whether you are looking to move on or simply want to reduce your borrowing.

It is worth noting that you can repay your equity loan in full or make partial repayments at any time without incurring any early repayment charges.
