Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £170,072. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Christchurch are now selling for between £3,530 and £5,150 per square metre (£327 and £478 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 71 m², this implies a valuation between £251,000 and £366,000. Treat this as context only.
