Help to Buy Valuation in Hurst Green, Rother

A Help to Buy purchase comes with an equity loan from the government to help with your deposit. This loan is usually 20% of the property value, or up to 40% in London, and it has to be repaid, along with any rise in the property's value, at the end of your five-year interest-free period or when you sell. Our valuers work out the repayment from the current market value, so if your property has gone up in value, the amount due will be higher than the original loan.

In Hurst Green, a Help to Buy valuation has to be carried out by a RICS registered valuer who will look at your property against current market conditions in Hurst Green and the surrounding Rother area. The report follows the Red Book (RICS Valuation - Global Standards), so it meets the strict regulatory requirements set by Help to Buy England. Our team uses comparable sales data from the Hurst Green area and the wider Rother district to reach a market value that reflects what is really happening locally.

What you repay is based on a percentage of the property's current market value, not the original purchase price. So if the value has risen, your repayment will be higher than your original loan amount. If values in your area have slipped, Help to Buy England may allow a revaluation. Our valuers give a careful assessment of homes in the Hurst Green area, looking at property type, condition, and local market trends.

Not every valuation is accepted by Help to Buy England, the valuer must be RICS registered and the report has to follow Red Book guidelines.

We can help your valuation meet the regulatory standards needed for your equity loan redemption or property sale.
