Key Feature
Help to Buy equity loan valuations differ from standard mortgage valuations because they must comply with specific RICS Red Book requirements set out by Homes England. Our surveyors conduct a thorough inspection of your property, comparing it against recent sales of similar properties in your local area to determine an accurate current market value. This valuation figure is used to calculate the amount of equity loan you need to repay, or the share of proceeds you will receive when selling. The methodology follows strict RICS guidelines to ensure consistency and accuracy across all Help to Buy transactions.
In the TW6 area, which encompasses parts of Feltham and the Heathrow employment zone, property values have been influenced by the proximity to the airport and major transport links.

The area includes a mix of modern apartment developments and traditional residential streets, with new housing developments having been constructed in recent years near the Heathrow business district. Our valuers are familiar with these local market conditions and factor them into every valuation we undertake in the TW6 area.
When you book a Help to Buy valuation with us, you will receive a comprehensive valuation report that meets Homes England requirements. This report can be used for staircasing transactions (where you increase your ownership share by 10% or more), full equity loan repayment, or when selling your property. Our turnaround times are typically 5-7 working days, and we offer flexible appointment times to suit your schedule. We understand that Help to Buy transactions often involve tight deadlines, particularly when sales are progressing through chain transactions, so we prioritise delivering reports on time every time.
The TW6 postcode covers an area with diverse property types, from purpose-built flats in modern developments to terraced houses in established residential neighbourhoods.

If you are looking to staircase your Help to Buy property in TW6, you must obtain a current market valuation to determine the cost of increasing your equity share. Staircasing allows you to buy out more of your property, reducing the amount of rent you pay on the equity loan portion.

Our valuers understand the staircasing process and can provide you with the accurate valuation you need to progress your transaction.
For those looking to repay their equity loan in full, a RICS valuation is required to calculate the repayment amount. The repayment figure is based on the current market value of your property, meaning you will repay the original loan amount plus or minus any change in property value since purchase. Our valuers understand the local TW6 market and can provide an accurate valuation to ensure you are paying the correct amount. We have experience valuing properties throughout the TW6 area, from flats near Feltham station to larger properties closer to Heathrow.

No, a standard mortgage valuation is not acceptable for Help to Buy transactions. You must obtain a specific Help to Buy valuation that complies with RICS Red Book standards and Homes England requirements. This is because the valuation methodology and report format differ from standard mortgage valuations. Mortgage valuations are typically for lender purposes only and do not include the level of detail required by Homes England for equity loan calculations. Using the wrong type of valuation can delay your transaction or result in it being rejected.
If your property value has decreased since you purchased it with your Help to Buy equity loan, your repayment amount will be calculated based on the current market value. This means you may repay less than the original loan amount. However, if your property has increased in value, you will repay the original loan amount plus any increase. Our valuers will provide an accurate current market valuation to determine the correct repayment figure. In the TW6 area, property values have been influenced by various factors including the local economy, transport links, and broader London market conditions, all of which our valuers take into account when assessing your property.
Several factors specific to the TW6 area can affect your property's market value. Properties near Heathrow Airport may be affected by aircraft noise, while good transport links including proximity to Feltham station and the M25 motorway can have a positive impact. The type of property, its condition, size, and local school catchment areas also play a role. Our valuers are familiar with these local factors and consider them when determining your property's market value. We research recent sales of comparable properties in your specific part of TW6 to ensure an accurate valuation.
