Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £597,059. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Rochester are now selling for between £3,120 and £4,270 per square metre (£289 and £396 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 157 m², this implies a valuation between £490,000 and £670,000. Treat this as context only.
