Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £377,155. This is one data point to inform the valuation.

Homes in Sutton Coldfield are now selling for between £2,720 and £3,950 per square metre (£252 and £366 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 115 m², this implies a valuation between £313,000 and £454,000. Treat this as context only.
