Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £114,740. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Gateshead are now selling for between £1,280 and £2,000 per square metre (£118 and £185 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 60 m², this implies a valuation between £77,000 and £120,000. Treat this as context only.
