Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £127,050. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Swindon are now selling for between £2,460 and £3,240 per square metre (£228 and £301 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 49 m², this implies a valuation between £121,000 and £159,000. Treat this as context only.
