Help to Buy Valuation

A RICS Red Book valuation carried out to the standard the Help to Buy administrator requires, by a RICS registered valuer who is independent of any estate agent. It gives the market value your equity loan repayment is calculated from, with our report back within 3 working days.

Who it's for

Homeowners with a Help to Buy equity loan who are selling, remortgaging, or paying the loan off in full or in part. An estate agent's appraisal will not be accepted for this — it has to be an independent RICS registered valuer.

  • Comparable sales evidence included
  • Prepared in the format the Help to Buy administrator expects
