Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £670,009. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Newcastle Upon Tyne are now selling for between £2,580 and £3,660 per square metre (£239 and £340 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 230 m², this implies a valuation between £593,000 and £842,000. Treat this as context only.
