A Help to Buy valuation is a specific type of RICS Red Book valuation required by Homes England when you want to redeem your equity loan, remortgage, or sell your property. Unlike a standard mortgage valuation, this report must be carried out by a RICS registered valuer and meet strict criteria set out in the RICS Valuation Global Standards (the Red Book). The valuation provides an independent market value assessment of your property at a specific point in time.
In Guisborough and the wider TS14 area, our valuers consider current market conditions including the 3% year-on-year price adjustment reported in recent months. We use comparable sales evidence from similar properties in your locality to determine your property's market value. The valuation report must be addressed to Homes England and include specific declarations required for Help to Buy purposes.
Our valuers understand that the valuation must reflect the market value of the property excluding any improvements you may have made unless they are standard fixtures and fittings. We inspect your property thoroughly and provide a comprehensive report that meets all Homes England requirements. The valuation remains valid for three months from the date of inspection, giving you ample time to complete your equity loan redemption or remortgage process.
The RICS Red Book standards require our valuers to follow specific methodologies when assessing your property. We conduct a physical inspection of the interior and exterior, measure the property accurately, and research recent sales of comparable homes in the Guisborough area. This includes properties in established residential areas like the town centre and newer developments such as those off Stokesley Road. Our valuers then apply professional judgment to determine a market value that reflects what a willing buyer would pay in current market conditions.
