Help to Buy Valuation in PA74

Help to Buy Scotland was set up to support first-time buyers and existing homeowners buying new-build homes with an equity loan from the Scottish Government. If you bought in the PA74 area through Help to Buy, there comes a point when you will need to either repay the equity loan or remortgage onto a standard mortgage product. Both routes call for a current RICS Red Book valuation so the outstanding amount can be worked out.

In the PA74 postcode area, within Inverclyde council area, property prices have kept moving up over the past year, with overall values rising approximately 6% on the previous year.
