Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Stanley are now selling for between £600 and £1,200 per square metre (£55 and £111 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 45 m², this implies a valuation between £27,000 and £54,000. Treat this as context only.
