What is a Help to Buy valuation?
A Help to Buy valuation is an independent property valuation required to calculate the amount repayable under the government’s shared equity scheme. The repayment amount is based on a percentage of the current market value of your property, which is determined by a RICS-qualified surveyor. Accurate Help to Buy property valuations ensure fair repayment terms, whether you’re selling or remortgaging.

- Selling your property: Calculate the repayment owed to the government based on the current market value
- Remortgaging: Pay off your Help to Buy loan accurately when transitioning to a new mortgage
- Compliance with scheme guidelines: Meet all Help to Buy requirements to avoid delays or disputes
