We are Target HCA Approved RICS Valuers & Surveyors.
If you have a Help-To-Buy loan managed by Target HCA & wish to sell or re-mortgage your property then you will require an independent RICS Valuation by a firm of RICS Registered Chartered Surveyors & Valuers.
All Valuations are valid for three months from date of valuation, after which a desktop valuation is required.
Housing Associations - Staircasing & Resale RICS Valuations
You will require a RICS Valuation if you are thinking of Staircasing or Selling your shared ownership property.
All Valuations are valid for three months after which you can request a desktop valuation (lower fee as we do not need to revisit the property) which would be valid for a further three months.
