Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £274,061. 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 £3,330 and £4,280 per square metre (£309 and £397 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 57 m², this implies a valuation between £190,000 and £244,000. Treat this as context only.
