The Help to Buy valuation process begins with you contacting our team to arrange an appointment at your property. One of our RICS qualified valuers will then visit your SA19 home to conduct a thorough inspection, measuring the property and assessing its condition, layout, and any improvements or alterations that may affect its value.

Following the inspection, we compile a detailed valuation report that complies with RICS Red Book standards and meets the specific requirements of Help to Buy Wales.
