What is the purpose of a Help to Buy Valuation?
A Help to Buy valuation determines the current open market value of your property so the amount owed on the equity loan can be accurately calculated.

-
Partially repay (staircase) your equity loan
-
Sell a property purchased using Help to Buy
-
Refinance where the Help to Buy loan is being redeemed
The valuation must be carried out by an independent, qualified surveyor and typically remains valid for a limited period, subject to Help to Buy rules.

A Help to Buy valuation is usually needed when:
-
You are planning to repay your equity loan
-
You wish to staircase and reduce your Help to Buy loan
-
You are selling your Help to Buy property
