Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £404,764. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Watford are now selling for between £4,730 and £5,710 per square metre (£439 and £530 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 74 m², this implies a valuation between £350,000 and £423,000. Treat this as context only.
