Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £258,259. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Braintree are now selling for between £3,270 and £4,350 per square metre (£303 and £404 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 63 m², this implies a valuation between £206,000 and £274,000. Treat this as context only.
