Before our valuer visits your property, there are several things you can do to ensure a smooth and efficient inspection. First, make sure all areas of the property are accessible, including the loft space if applicable, and any outbuildings. Clear away any obstructions that might prevent our valuer from properly assessing all parts of the property. If you have any documentation relating to improvements or modifications, such as planning permissions, building control certificates, or guarantees for new installations, have these ready for our valuer to review.

It is also helpful to prepare a list of any improvements you have made since purchasing the property through Help to Buy. This could include new kitchen or bathroom installations, loft conversions, extensions, or energy efficiency upgrades. These improvements can positively impact your valuation, and our valuer will want to know about them. Even minor improvements such as new flooring or decorated rooms can contribute to the overall value assessment, so be sure to mention anything you have done to enhance your property.

On the day of the valuation, try to ensure someone is present to grant access to all areas of the property. Our valuer will need to inspect the interior thoroughly, including all rooms, the loft space if accessible, and any basement or crawl spaces. They will also need to view the exterior of the property, including the roof, walls, and any outbuildings or boundaries. If there are any areas that are difficult to access, please let us know in advance so we can discuss this with you.
