Help to Buy Valuation in Wye with Hinxhill

A Help to Buy valuation is not the same thing as a standard property survey. A survey looks at condition, while a Help to Buy valuation sets the market value of the home you are buying. The Government then uses that figure to work out how much equity loan you can receive, usually up to 20% of the property value, or 40% in London. In Wye with Hinxhill, where prices have climbed markedly, an accurate valuation matters if you want the right equity loan amount.

For Help to Buy, a RICS registered valuer has to inspect the property and prepare a formal valuation report. Your Help to Buy provider then relies on that report to decide the size of the equity loan. Our valuers in Wye know the local market well, including the effect of developments such as The Wye College Collection on High Street and The Barns at Wye, both of which can move values in the village. We also look at current market conditions, recent sales data, and the individual features of properties in this Kent village before we put a figure together.

Wye with Hinxhill has a mix of homes, from traditional brick-built houses to neatly refurbished cottages within restored Grade I and II listed buildings. We take those differences into account, along with details such as the brown-red clay roof tiling seen throughout the Conservation Area and the tile-hung upper storeys common on many period properties. Ragstone construction is another local trait we know well, and it can influence both value and mortgageability.

Development in the Wye area has been busy, with a number of schemes either on site or waiting on planning decisions. The Former Goods Yard on Bramble Lane proposes nine new houses, while the Wye College Land and Buildings site on Olantigh Road could bring forward an additional 40 dwellings. The former ADAS offices on Olantigh Road has a pending application for 52 new residential units, and Coldharbour Farm on Amage Road proposes converting existing buildings into homes. We keep track of all of this so the Help to Buy valuation reflects the market as it is now.
