Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Darlington are now selling for between £1,110 and £1,720 per square metre (£103 and £159 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 100 m², this implies a valuation between £111,000 and £172,000. Treat this as context only.
