Help to Buy Valuations

If you purchased your home using the Help to Buy equity loan scheme, you’ll need an official RICS compliant valuation when you decide to sell, remortgage, or repay part or all of your government loan.

A Help to Buy Valuation determines the current market value of your property to accurately calculate how much of the equity loan must be repaid. This ensures that both you and Homes England (or the relevant agency) have a fair, transparent, and professionally assessed figure based on up to date property market data.

At Wignalls Land Surveyors, our RICS registered professionals provide fast, accurate, and fully compliant Help to Buy Valuations across Lancashire and the North West — ensuring a smooth and stress free process for every client.

What Does a Help to Buy Valuation Include?
Your Help to Buy Valuation is based on a physical inspection of the property and detailed local market research. Unlike an estate agent’s estimate, this valuation is independent, unbiased, and carried out to strict RICS standards, which are required by Homes England.

The valuation report will include:

This ensures the valuation reflects the true current market value — giving you confidence that your repayment or remortgage calculations are based on solid evidence.

When You Need a Help to Buy Valuation

A Help to Buy Valuation is required for several situations, including:
