Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £104,550. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Bacup are now selling for between £1,210 and £2,180 per square metre (£112 and £202 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 82 m², this implies a valuation between £99,000 and £179,000. Treat this as context only.
