Help to Buy Valuation in TR16 4 Redruth

The Help to Buy equity loan scheme allowed buyers to purchase a new build property with just a 5% deposit, with the government providing an equity loan of up to 20% (or 40% in London). When you first bought your property through this scheme, the valuation was conducted at the point of purchase. Now, when you want to sell your home or remortgage to a different lender, another valuation is required to establish the current market value and calculate the equity loan repayment. Our valuers will guide you through this process and ensure all requirements are met.

When you sell your Help to Buy property or remortgage, the equity loan must be repaid. The repayment amount is calculated as a percentage of the current market value, equal to the percentage of the original equity loan. For example, if you received a 20% equity loan and your property is now worth 25% more than when you bought it, you would repay 20% of the current value rather than the original loan amount. Our valuers will explain this calculation in your report and ensure you understand the figures.
