Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £244,940. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Basildon are now selling for between £3,160 and £4,190 per square metre (£293 and £389 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 66 m², this implies a valuation between £209,000 and £277,000. Treat this as context only.
