Book a valuation

Your home’s value, simplified

If you purchased your home with a Help to Buy loan, you may need a valuation to repay, remortgage, or sell your property. Homes England requires an independent RICS Help to Buy Valuation to determine the amount repayable, based on the current market value of your home.

A Help to Buy Valuation must be conducted by a qualified RICS surveyor and meet specific requirements to be accepted.

At Clive Livermore Surveyors, we meet all Homes England standards and have a 100% acceptance rate for Help to Buy Valuations.

Homes England ‘Help to Buy’ Valuation requirements:

  • The Valuer must be registered with the recognised qualification of RICS

  • The Valuer must be independent to an estate agent

  • The report must be on headed paper, signed by the RICS surveyor and addressed to Homes England

  • The Valuer MUST provide at least 3 comparable properties and sale prices

  • The Valuer must not be related or known to you

  • The Valuer must inspect the interior of the property and provide a full valuation report

  • Valuations carried out for bank or mortgage purposes are not acceptable

  • A copy of the valuation report must be supplied to Homes England; the inspection date must be shown on the report

We make it convenient and straightforward

We understand that arranging a Help to Buy Valuation can feel like another hurdle in the process of selling, repaying, or remortgaging your home. That’s why we make it as simple and stress-free as possible:

Good to know

Help to Buy valuations are typically valid for three months. If your sale or redemption isn’t completed within that time, we offer options to extend your valuation—but it’s important to understand Homes England’s requirements:

  • One-month extension letter – A formal confirmation extending your valuation’s validity by one month. However, Homes England does not allow a Desktop Valuation after this extension. If your transaction is delayed beyond the extra month, you would then need another new full valuation.

  • Three-month desktop valuation – A reassessment of market conditions to extend your valuation by three months (additional fee applies). Homes England requires this to be submitted within two weeks of your original valuation expiring.

These rules are set by Homes England, not us, so we always recommend taking time to consider the right option upfront to avoid extra costs or delays.

If you're unsure which option is best, we’re happy to guide you through the process.
